Full title
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the terms of the Commissioners of the United States Commission on Civil Rights are staggered, beginning and ending upon the expiration date of the vacant position, and that Commissioners appointed to fill unexpired terms should serve only until the expiration date of the term for which they were appointed to finish, but may be eligible to be appointed to a new, subsequent term.
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 108th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
