An executive resolution authorizing the en bloc consideration in Executive Session of certain nominations on the Executive Calendar.

Summary

Allows the Senate to take up, as a single grouped motion, a long list of Executive Calendar nominations. The resolution does not change law or funding; it only authorizes grouped (en bloc) consideration of named nominees for a variety of federal positions. If adopted, the Senate could move to consider all listed nominees together, streamlining floor consideration and votes for many executive-branch appointments at once. The measure affects the process for confirming nominees and the offices that would receive confirmed appointees, but it does not itself confirm anyone or create new offices.

Key Points

• Permits the Senate to consider a specified list of Executive Calendar nominations together, en bloc.
• Is purely procedural: it does not confirm nominees, change law, or authorize spending.
• Each listed nomination includes nominee name, associated State (if given), office, and any listed term or expiration.
• En bloc consideration can speed floor action by grouping debate and votes on multiple nominees.
• Final confirmation still requires the Senate’s vote; the resolution only affects the method of consideration.
• Does not alter statutory appointment authorities, qualifications, or terms beyond what the nominations already state.
• No new obligations or funding are created for federal, state, or local entities.
• Affects Senate floor scheduling and workload; may reduce separate time spent on individual nominations.
