This resolution proposes an amendment to the Standing Rules of the Senate , specifically Rule XXXI, to streamline the consideration of certain executive nominations. It authorizes the Majority Leader to initiate a motion for the en bloc consideration of multiple nominations simultaneously. The amendment defines "covered nominations" as those for positions not at Executive Schedule Level I, nor for judges of a U.S. court of appeals, nor for Chief Justice or Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. The Majority Leader can move to proceed to the en bloc consideration of not more than 10 such covered nominations, provided they were reported by the same Senate committee and placed on the calendar. The consideration of this motion and the en bloc nominations will follow the same procedure as a single nomination.
