Streamline the process for confirming multiple government nominees at the same time in the Senate.

One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.

What’s happening with this effort?

S.Res. 379 remains in the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration as of September 8, 2025. The committee members must act next to hold a vote, but the binding constraint is that most bills fail because committees never schedule them for a vote. This effort follows a similar pattern to S.Res. 219, which expired in the 118th Congress without receiving a committee vote.
