How this file is built

Every date, title, appointing president and Senate tally above is copied from the linked official record, checked on 2026-09-25. A confirmation links to a Senate roll call in our archive only when exactly one roll call on the confirmation date has the same yeas and nays and names this nominee. Where a fact is missing from the official record, this page leaves it out rather than estimate it.
