144 public laws so far, with 93 percent of the 2025-26 term elapsed. A Congress tracking the modern median would be near 307 by this point, and holding this one's pace would end the term near 154. Both are estimates, not counts. The tick on the gold bar marks the elapsed share of the term. The bar itself is measured against the biggest full-term total on this chart, the 115th at 442, so the 7 finished Congresses above it are not a like-for-like comparison until January 2027.
Bill counts measure volume, not weight. A single appropriations package can carry more law than a hundred post-office renamings.
Floor votes include procedure: motions, rules, and nominations, not just passage votes.
Members also work away from the floor: committee hearings, oversight, and constituent work do not show up in these tallies.
The seven historical bars are complete two-year totals. The current one covers a term still running, so its length is not comparable to theirs until the term ends.
