Congress.gov Citation ToolCongress.gov offers a citation tool that provides support for several citation formats. The supported citation formats include the Bluebook, the American Psychological Association (APA), the Modern Language Association (MLA), and the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS).
The citation tool can generate a specific citation for bills and resolutions in any of these formats. For all other collections in Congress.gov, the citation tool will only generate a generic citation that follows the selected format’s method for citing a website.
The citation tool is present on the top toolbar of each Congress.gov collection page, such as Legislation, the Congressional Record, Committees, and Members. Clicking on the citation tool will open a popup. You may click Copy to Clipboard for each of the four available citation formats. Once copied, the citation will be saved to your clipboard and can be pasted elsewhere on your desktop by using Control + V or right clicking and selecting Paste.
