A resolution amending the Standing Rules of the Senate to authorize the Majority Leader to move to proceed to the en bloc consideration of certain nominations.
SRES 219 amends Senate rules to allow the Majority Leader to move for en bloc consideration of up to 10 nominations. This applies only to nominations for positions that are not Cabinet-level (level I Executive Schedule), federal judges, or Supreme Court justices. The change streamlines the confirmation process by enabling the Senate to vote on multiple nominations from the same committee in a single procedural step, rather than individually.
