Voting analysis
One of Robert Aderholt's filings is a request rather than a bill. It asks the interior secretary to authorise unique and one-time arrangements for displays on the National Mall and at the Washington Monument during a short window at the turn of a year. Congress asking an agency for permission to decorate a public space, in writing, as a formal legislative act, is a good illustration of how much of the process is procedure rather than power.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 45 currently sit at Introduced.
The spending bill, twice
He chairs the appropriations subcommittee for labour, health and education, and its annual bill appears on his list in two consecutive editions — the signature every spending chair on this site carries. The Connecticut Democrat who leads the minority on that panel is also written up here, and she leads the minority on the full committee besides.
Public finance tops his classified subjects, which the gavel entirely accounts for. The remaining filings are an adoption measure and an act tying a small per-person contribution to a national anniversary.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Robert Aderholt's cluster into: Economics and Public Finance (8), Government Operations and Politics (6), Foreign Trade and International Finance (5), Health (5), Energy (3), Taxation (3).
Three departures
Two amendment votes, both lost. And a fuel retailing bill he opposed while his conference passed it. Nothing else.
