CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 114

119th Congress · Session 2 · May 11, 2026

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-690 — 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 a specific group of nominations all at once, known as en bloc consideration. The nominations include several United States Attorneys and United States Marshals for various districts. Additionally, the list includes various ambassadors and assistant secretaries for several government departments. It also covers leadership roles within agencies like the Bureau of Land Management and NASA. The goal is to move these specific executive calendar items forward during an Executive Session.
