The Senate is currently in session significantly more days than the House of Representatives. This difference in working days has drawn criticism from members of both parties. The Senate has been in session for 104 weekdays this year, compared to the House's 72. Consequently, the Senate has logged nearly 664 hours of session time, while the House has accumulated approximately 378 hours. Current schedules suggest the Senate will end the year with about 126 weekdays in session, versus 92 for the House. Some of the House's reduced session time is due to unplanned early adjournments. Speaker Mike Johnson has repeatedly sent members home early due to legislative roadblocks. This practice has faced backlash, with some members deeming it unacceptable. Johnson, however, claims the House has been highly productive in passing legislation. He states the House has passed over 900 pieces of legislation, with many awaiting Senate action. The House has passed more bills overall, but the Senate has held more roll-call votes. While House members introduced more legislation, the Senate has been more productive on a per capita basis. Both chambers have passed a similar number of bills sent from the other. A considerable portion of the Senate's floor time is dedicated to confirming nominees.
