How to Read the Roll Call Information

Simply follow the easy steps listed below to look up a vote cast by McClintock or any other member.

You may want to read all of the steps or print this page before clicking on the appropriate links.

Step 1

Please visit the Legislation and Votes Web page at the Clerk of the House Web site.  The following Web page will display.

'Legislation & Votes' page of the House Clerk's website.  Under a 'Legislation Information' heading are subheadings (and related information) for 'Bill Summary and Status, ' 'Bill Text, ' and 'Public Laws'.  The next major heading is 'Roll Call Votes' followed by and explanation and then links to the roll call votes of the current Congress and then a link to previous congresses.

Under the "Roll Call Votes" heading, choose the link of the appropriate Congress and Session to view roll call votes for that session.  You also have the option of viewing roll call votes from past sessions of Congress.

Step 2

Once you have selected the Congress and Session you want, the following Web page will display.

'U.S. House of Representative Roll Call Votes' page from the House Clerk's website.  Features a six column table.  The first column (Roll) has the roll call vote number.  The second column (Date) has the date of the vote.  The third column (Issue) has the bill number that the vote related to.  The fourth column (Question) has the specific motion being voted on.  The fifth column (Result) indicates if the vote passed (P), was agreed to (A), or failed (F).  The sixth column (Title/Description) gives the title of the bill being considered.

The far left column labeled "Roll" will give you the number of the roll call vote.  Moving to the column on the right, you see the date the vote was cast.  The "Question" tells you if the vote was on final passage, on an amendment, or as otherwise noted.  The "Result" is the outcome: P=passed, F=failed, and A=the amendment was agreed to.  The next column tells you the title/description of the measure.  All votes are posted in reverse chronological order (most recent at the top).

Step 3

Click on the appropriate "Roll" number on the same row as the title/description that you are interested in.  If it is an older vote that you are interested in (must be in the same year), move to the bottom of the screen and simply click on a previous set of roll call votes.

Step 4

The following Web page will display.

'Final Vote Results for Roll Call 680' page from the House Clerk's website.  After indicating the bill number, the type of vote (in this case 'Yea-and-Nay'), the date and time of the vote, the motion, and the title of the bill that the vote relates to, there is a five column, five row table.  The first column has the political parties.  The second column (Yeas) has the number of yes votes.  The third column (Nays) has the number of no votes.  The fourth column (Pres.) has the number of Members who voted 'present' and did not vote yes or no.  The fifth column (NV) has the number of Members of the House who did not vote.  The first row has the column headings.  The second row has the votes by Democrats.  The third row has the votes by Republicans.  The fourth row has the votes by Independents.  The fifth row has the total votes.  After the table is a list of the Members of the House who voted 'Yea'.

The Export-Import Boondoggle

The Export-Import Bank dragoons American taxpayers into subsidizing loans to foreign companies, making it cheaper for them to buy products from politically-favored American companies which in turn use those products to compete against less-favored American companies.

Amendment to Defund the Economic Development Administration

Here is an appropriations bill originating in this House that still has outrageously wasteful and indefensible spending. Perhaps the flagship of this folly is the $182 million in unauthorized - there's that word again: unauthorized - spending for the Economic Development Administration. This is solely and simply a slush fund that gives away money for the most dubious of local projects.

Amendment to Cut Unauthorized Appropriations to the International Trade Administration

This amendment cuts more than a quarter billion dollars of unauthorized appropriations from the International Trade Administration. What does it do, exactly? The ITA has some legitimate functions enforcing trade agreements and treaties. This amendment leaves these functions untouched. But it also - to quote from its own material - provides counseling to American companies in order to develop the most profitable and sustainable plans for pricing, export, and the full range of public and private trade promotion assistance... as well as market intelligence, and industry and market specific research." That's well and good, but Mme. Chairman, isn't that what businesses, trade associations and the Chamber of Commerce are supposed to do with their own money?
