confirmations 0.1.0

Fetch and analyze US Senate confirmation votes

# confirmations - fetch and analyze votes from US Senate confirmation hearings

## Usage

python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate pip install confirmations confirmations –congress 119 –session 1

If, for example, you just want to see the democrats voting records for Trump’s second term, you can do

confirmations -c 119 -s 1 | grep ‘ (D-’

The first time you run it for a given congress/session it will take awhile; it’s fetching the various roll call files one by one. Subsequent runs will use cached data if it hasn’t changed.

## TODO

It would be nice to report various interesting things; sort by how party-aligned various senators are, show individual nominees results by party, etc..
