This resolution grants the Senate Majority Leader the authority to initiate en bloc consideration for specific categories of nominations. The primary goal is to streamline the confirmation process for a defined set of appointments by allowing them to be voted on together rather than individually. A "covered nomination" explicitly excludes high-level positions such as Executive Schedule Level I appointments, federal district and appeals court judges, and Supreme Court justices. The resolution permits the Majority Leader to move for en bloc consideration of up to 15 such nominations , provided they were reported to the Senate by the same committee and are on the calendar. The process for this en bloc consideration will mirror that of a motion to proceed to a single nomination.
