CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 541

119th Congress · Session 1 · October 3, 2025

The vote on whether to adopt the resolution

A resolution is one chamber speaking for itself — setting its own rules, taking a position, honouring someone — and it never goes to the President. Agreeing to it is the whole decision.

What was being voted on

119-SRES-412 — An executive resolution authorizing the en bloc consideration in Executive Session of certain nominations on the Executive Calendar.

S. Res. 412 is a resolution that allows the Senate to consider a large group of nominations together in one go, rather than one by one. This process is called "en bloc" consideration. The list includes 108 different people nominated for various government roles, such as ambassadors, attorneys, and agency secretaries. These nominations cover a wide range of departments, including State, Labor, Education, and Energy.
