119-SRES-377 — An executive resolution authorizing the en bloc consideration in Executive Session of certain nominations on the Executive Calendar.
This resolution authorizes the Senate to consider several nominations in an en bloc fashion during an Executive Session. The list includes various individuals nominated for leadership and official positions across several federal departments and agencies. These roles span sectors such as defense, energy, agriculture, and international diplomacy. The resolution specifically targets nominations currently appearing on the Executive Calendar. By moving to consider these together, the Senate can process these appointments as a single group.
