Calendar

Senate and House Calendars consist of lists of measures that are eligible for floor consideration. These calendars do not indicate when or if a measure will be considered, but do indicate items that may be considered.  Congressional schedules indicate what the House and Senate intend to discuss or bring to the floor on a particular day.

Senate

The Senate has two calenders: the Calendar of Business (commonly referred to as the Legislative Calendar), and the Executive Calendar. The Calendar of Business lists legislative items that may be brought up on the floor, while the Executive Calendar deals with nominations and treaties.
