Senate bundles listed nominations into one motion

The Senate authorizes a single motion to consider the listed nominations together. Each nomination is shown by calendar number, name, state, and office. Some entries list term end dates, such as Paul Atkins (SEC member, term ends June 5, 2031) and Marco Rajkovich, Jr. (Mine Safety Commission member, term ends August 30, 2030). It also includes Janet Dhillon as PBGC Director for a five-year term, and multiple United States Attorneys for four-year terms. This takes effect upon adoption and changes the Senate floor process; any public impact follows only if nominees are confirmed.
