S. Res. 384 is a procedural resolution that streamlines how the Senate considers certain federal nominations. It authorizes the Senate Majority Leader to bundle up to 15 nominations together for a single vote, rather than voting on each one individually, but only for positions below the highest executive levels and excluding federal judges and Supreme Court justices. The nominations must have already been reviewed by the same Senate committee and placed on the Senate calendar before they can be considered this way. This procedure applies the same rules and debate time to the bundled group as would apply to a single nomination being considered alone. The resolution essentially allows the Senate to move faster on confirming mid-level appointees without changing substantive requirements for Senate review.
