H.Res. 736 · 116th Congress
Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to prohibit Members from voting "present" on any question…
Full title
Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to prohibit Members from voting "present" on any question on which a record vote is taken.
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 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
