As of today, nearly 100 sub-cabinet and ambassadorial nominations are languishing on the Senate’s Executive Calendar. These aren’t just a few second-string government positions. Many of them are crucial and influential jobs that actually move President Trump’s agenda to create fair trade policies, address illegal immigration, and end government waste.

NO EXCUSES

As Rachel Bovard lays out in her article, “Senate Republicans Won’t Work 5 Days A Week To Confirm Trump’s Key Nominees,” there aren’t any reasons why the Senate can’t schedule confirmation votes and move this process forward quickly.

Many of these nominees have already been approved by a Senate committee and are eligible for a full floor vote.
Senate Democrats can’t filibuster, they can’t stop the vote, and they can’t delay the process for more than two hours. Republicans have no excuse for not getting the voting machine in gear.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune has no excuse for not bringing these nominees up for a vote on the Senate floor.
All that’s needed is a simple majority vote to help President Trump achieve his priorities.

The shame is ... while President Trump is working for America 24/7, the Republican Senate is dragging its feet when it should be moving full steam ahead to Make America Great Again.

As Bovard states, “The Senate could easily clear every nomination now on the Executive Calendar if they voted on nothing but nominations while working 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., for a full five-day workweek (right now, a normal workweek in the Senate runs from Monday at 5:30 p.m. to Thursday at noon).”

President Trump has done his job by presenting the Senate with his nominees. The Senate now needs to do their job and get them confirmed. Senate Majority Leader John Thune needs to get on board or get out of the way.

TAKE ACTION

Contact your Senators and urge them to immediately vote on and approve President Trump’s nearly 100 nominees who need a floor vote.
