The Congress.gov enhancements for June of 2025. This release provides enhanced access to Congressional Research Service products and Law Library of Congress reports from Congress.gov.
Today, in partnership with the Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives, we are thrilled to announce that beta House Roll Call Votes endpoints are now available from the Congress.gov API.
In this first iteration, the beta House Roll Call Votes endpoints cover all votes associated with legislation dating from 2023 (118th Congress). Endpoints include a list-level and item-level, along with a member votes-level, which shows how each member of the House of Representatives voted on a particular piece of legislation.
This post highlights the updates to Congress.gov that occurred this month, including the ability to now browse and search through the Historic Senate Executive Journals from the 1st (1789 – 1791) through the 43rd Congress (1873 – 1875).
We are pleased to announce the new CRS products collection that is searchable within Congress.gov. CRS products include coveted CRS reports, testimony by CRS analysts, infographics, and more.
