Bill > SRes379

This resolution amends the Senate's Standing Rules to allow the Majority Leader more flexibility in handling certain nominations. Specifically, the resolution permits the Majority Leader to move to consider up to 10 "covered nominations" en bloc (meaning all together at once), with some important restrictions. A "covered nomination" excludes top-level Executive Schedule positions, federal appeals court judges, and Supreme Court justices. The motion to proceed with these en bloc nominations would be treated procedurally the same as a motion to consider a single nomination. This change is designed to streamline the Senate's nomination process by allowing faster consideration of multiple lower-level executive branch or federal agency nominations that have been reported out of committee and placed on the Senate calendar, potentially reducing the time spent on routine nomination approvals.
