Especially in the least productive congress in US history, the odds of any actual vote are low.

Technically, while that might have been true at the end of 2023, the US House of Representatives of the 118th congress have voted 796 times with 126 items passed, according to Govtrack.us with at least ten vetoes by the POTUS.

So not really the worst by any measure.
