Where a recorded vote on a bill differs from another recorded vote on the same bill, both records are shown here with their dates, the exact question put to the members, and a link to the official roll call. This page does not say why a vote was cast.

Different questions on the same bill can lead to different votes. Read each question before drawing a conclusion.

    Said on the floor about this bill

    • · Senate · S1477-S1488

      Mr. CRUZ. Mr. President, the decentralized finance industry is in its infancy. It is a new technology in the digital asset space which enables two individuals to exchange cryptocurrencies without a third party sitting in between them. Although that sounds straightforward, the technology holds potential for technological and financial innovation that we are just beginning to explore. In that sense, DeFi is a microcosm of the crypto revolution, which is unleashing innovation and economic growth and, indeed, personal liberty.

Recorded positions that match

20 measures with two or more recorded votes in the same position.

Method: we compare only recorded Yea and Nay votes on the same bill or resolution in the same Congress, and only on these kinds of question: passage or adoption; conference report; concurring in the other chamber's amendment; overriding a veto; treaty ratification. Amendments, motions to recommit, to table, to proceed or to end debate, and every other procedural question are not compared. Present and not voting are not compared. A vote with no date, no question text, or no link to its official roll-call page is left out. The text of a bill can change between votes; the description on each record is the one recorded for that roll call.

Floor statements are quoted from the Congressional Record as printed by the Government Publishing Office. We have read it from January 6, 2025 through October 26, 2026 so far; earlier statements are not shown. A passage is listed for a bill only when its own text cites that bill. Excerpts are the opening of the passage, cut at a sentence; the full passage is always one click away. Statement pairs appear only after two separate reviews, and every quote is checked word for word against the stored passage each time it is shown.

Votes come from the House Clerk and Senate roll-call records as compiled in the Voteview archive. Votes before the chambers published roll calls online have no official web page and are not shown here.
