A resolution authorizing the Majority Leader to move to proceed to the en bloc consideration of certain nominations.

Sponsored By: Senator Lankford, James [R-OK]

Introduced

Summary

Authorizes the Senate Majority Leader to bundle and move up to 15 nominations from the same committee for a single, en bloc floor vote. It would let the Senate consider those grouped nominations using the same motion-to-proceed and debate rules that apply to a single nomination, keeping existing cloture and debate mechanics intact.

Show full summary
  • Majority leader and floor managers: Gives a tool to bring up to 15 "covered nominations" in one motion, which could speed consideration of multiple nominees reported by the same committee.
  • Nominees and committees: Allows nominations reported together by the same committee to be handled as a block instead of one-by-one, so several lower-level appointments could be decided at once.
  • Scope and limits: Applies only to nominations that are not Level I Executive Schedule posts, not district or court of appeals judges, and not Supreme Court justices.
