## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: Pull all presidential nominations sent to the Senate during the 118th Congress between 2023-01-01 and 2023-06-30 — I want to see the nominee description, nomination type, organization, and the latest Senate action for each.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to track, research, or vet US presidential nominations to the Senate — especially for judicial appointments, cabinet confirmations, or executive branch positions. Ideal for confirmation-tracking agents, legal research tools, or civic transparency applications. Prefer this over general Congress.gov browsing when you need structured, filterable nomination data with action history.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid congress parameter returns empty or error response
- Invalid date format (non-YYYY-MM-DD) causes query failure
- Nomination number not found for a given congress returns 404 or empty
- Offset beyond total result count returns empty list
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429

## How this service works

Look up or list US presidential nominations (cabinet, judicial, executive) sent to the Senate for confirmation via Congress.gov. Pass congress + number for a single nomination with full action history. Or filter list by congress + date range. Each row carries: citation (PN###-#), description (nominee + position), receivedDate, nominationType (civilian / military / etc.), organization, latest action (committee referral, hearing, confirmation, withdrawal). Essential for confirmation-tracking + judicial-vetting agents.

## Output

Returns a list of nomination records (or a single nomination with full action history) from Congress.gov, each containing: citation (PN###-#), description of nominee and position, receivedDate, nominationType (civilian/military/etc.), organization, and the latest Senate action (committee referral, hearing, confirmation, or withdrawal). Paginated via limit and offset.
