Senate confirms 48 of Trump’s nominees at once after changing the chamber’s rules

Washington – The Senate confirmed 48 of President Donald Trump candidates at the same time, as it voted for the first time under new rules to start clearing the accumulation of executive sub -positions delayed by Democrats.

Upon frustration due to stalling tactics, Republicans in the Senate moved last week to facilitate the confirmation of large groups of lower and non -judicial nominations. Democrats forced multiple voices on almost each of Trump’s choices, which angered the president and tied the Senate Hall.

The new rules of Republicans in the Senate allow the transfer of several candidates by a simple majority – a process that could have been banned from only one objection. The rules do not apply to judicial nominations or high -level cabinet functions.

“The Republicans have fixed a broken operation,” said Thun before the vote.

The Senate voted 51-47 to confirm the four dozens. Thun said that those who confirmed on Thursday had all received voices from the two parties in the committee, including the deputy secretaries of the defense and interior departments, and others.

Among the assertive Jonathan Morrison, the new official of the National Road Traffic Safety Administration, and Kimberly Gilvoel as an American ambassador to Greece. Guilfoyle is a former public prosecutor in California and a television news figure who had collected fundraising for Trump’s campaign in 2020 and was previously working with Ibn Trump, Donald Trump Junior.

Thne movement is the latest Salvo after ten years of gradual changes by both parties to weaken Filibuster and make the nominations more partisan. Both parties have been raging candidates for each other for years, and called on Senators at both parties to accelerate the process when they are in the majority.

Republicans first suggested changing the rules in early August, when the Senate left for a month after a collapse in the two -party negotiations on the confirmation process, Trump told the Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer “to go to hell!” On social media.

The Democrats prevented more candidates from ever because they fought to find ways to oppose the Congress dominated by the Republican Party, and since their voters prompted them to fight the Republicans at every turn. This is the first time in the modern history that the minority party has not allowed at least some rapid assurances.

The Democratic Leader of the Senate Chuck Schumer said that the Democrats delay the nominations because Trump candidates are “historically bad”. Republicans told that they would “regret” their work-a similar warning from the leader of the Republican Party, Mitch McConnell, to the majority leader, Harry Reed, de Neve, in 2013, when the Democrats changed the Senate bases of the executive branch and judicial candidates for the minimum court to remove the 60-year-old for confirmation. At that time, the Republicans were blocking President Barack Obama’s choices.

Republicans obtained the majority of the Senate a year later, and in the end McConnell did the same for the candidates for the Supreme Court in 2017, where Democrats tried to prevent Trump’s nomination for Judge Neil Jorsh.

“What the Republicans did is to get rid of the Senate more, to give Donald Trump more power and the rubber twilight he wanted, the more he wanted them, he did not ask any questions,” Schumer said last week.

Republicans will move to confirm a second segment of candidates in the coming weeks, and cleanse the list of more than 100 nominations that have been suspended for months.

“There will be more in the future,” Thun said on Thursday. “We will include that the President of Trump’s administration is full at a pace that seems more similar to its ancestors.”
