Law · 109-133 · Dec 20, 2005Key: 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.

Became law without a recorded vote. It passed by voice vote or unanimous consent, which don't record how each member voted.
