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 109th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
No cosponsors.
Constitutional Amendment - Prohibits any person who has been: (1) a Senator for four full consecutive terms from again serving as a Senator; or (2) a Representative for 24 full consecutive years from again serving as a Representative. (Excludes terms that began before this Amendment becomes valid.)
