Washington, D.C.
Conservatives urge Senate Republicans to prioritize and swiftly confirm the president’s nominees.
There are close to 100 presidential nominations now pending on the Senate’s executive calendar, and each of them is vital to the president’s ability to carry out his agenda. The president is making dramatic change in Washington – doing exactly what the American people voted for him to do – and he cannot fully execute on his policies without his political appointees in place, ensuring that the permanent bureaucracy does not undermine him. This is a lesson the conservative movement learned acutely during Donald Trump’s first term – the president’s appointees are vital to ensuring that the president’s agenda is carried out.
Through bipartisan actions taken in 2013, 2017, and 2019, the filibuster no longer exists for presidential nominees, and for most of the nominations currently pending on the calendar, neither does the post-cloture 30 hours.
The Senate could easily confirm dozens of nominees a week if they chose to work a full five-day work week, between the hours of 9am and 5pm. The current Senate workweek of 2.5 days a week (Monday evenings through Thursday at 12pm) means the Senate sometimes confirms less than five nominees a week.
This current glacial pace means that future nominees will experience months long delays, and the president’s agenda will suffer for it.
There is no excuse for the repeated delays and slow pace of Senate confirmations. Democrats can no longer block or obstruct nominations, and very little time must elapse between invoking cloture and confirming a nominee. The missing element is the will of the Senate Republican conference to stay in town and do the work.
We urge them to act with all urgency and haste in completing this basic responsibility of the Senate. President Trump’s agenda depends upon it.
