CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 514

119th Congress · Session 1 · September 11, 2025

The vote just before this succeeded, and this locks it in

After a bill or a change to one is approved, any member could ask for the vote to be taken again. Setting that request aside — "laying it on the table" — makes the approval final. It is the routine last step after a bill passes the House, so this means the chamber said yes, not that the bill was shelved.

What was being voted on

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.
