How this file is built

Every date, title, appointing president and Senate tally above is copied from the linked official record, checked on October 12, 2026. We link a confirmation to a Senate roll call only when exactly one roll call on the confirmation date has the same yes and no totals and names this nominee. Where a fact is missing from the official record, this page leaves it out rather than estimate it.
