S.Res. 532 — An executive resolution authorizing the en bloc consideration in Executive Session of certain nominations on the Executive Calendar.
A vote to end debate and allow a final vote In the Senate, debate can continue indefinitely unless 60 senators vote to end it. This vote is that attempt. It decides whether the Senate may vote on the thing at all — not whether the thing passes. A failed cloture vote usually ends the matter without anyone ever voting on its merits.
