Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution allows the chamber to consider 88 presidential nominations all at once in a single vote, rather than voting on each nominee individually. The nominees include senior officials across multiple government departments and agencies, such as assistant secretaries at Defense, Labor, and Treasury, U.S. attorneys for various districts, federal judges, ambassadors, and inspector generals. Many of the nominated positions are for specific terms, including 4-year terms for U.S. attorneys, 5-year terms for some board members, and 15-year terms for D.C. Superior Court judges. The resolution was submitted by Senator Thune on December 1, 2025, and is currently pending consideration. This procedural measure would streamline the confirmation process by allowing the Senate to approve all these nominations together rather than holding separate votes for each position.
