SRES 444 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution providing for the en bloc consideration of military nominations.

This Senate resolution allows the majority leader to group multiple military nominations together for consideration instead of handling them individually. It sets a 2-hour limit for debate on the grouped nominations and requires a single vote to confirm all at once, following a cloture motion. The rule applies to nominations pending on the Executive Calendar that have been favorably reported by the Armed Services Committee, excluding top leadership roles like Joint Chiefs or combatant commanders. This streamlines the confirmation process for military appointments without changing substantive requirements.
