This resolution would change Senate rules to let the Majority Leader bundle up to 10 nominations from the same committee and vote on them together ("en bloc") in a single motion, rather than taking each one up separately. The streamlined process would not apply to the most senior positions — Cabinet-level officials (Executive Schedule Level I), federal appeals court judges, or Supreme Court justices would still be considered individually. The goal is to speed up the confirmation backlog for lower-level nominees.
Congressional Summary
This resolution generally permits the Senate to consider up to 10 nominations for most federal positions using a single motion to proceed (a proposal, typically offered by the Majority Leader, to bring a measure, nomination, or treaty to the Senate floor for debate and vote). However, certain nominations still require individual motions to proceed, namely nominations for Cabinet officials and other positions at Level I of the Executive Service, appellate judges, and Supreme Court Justices.
