Senate Resolution 520 is a resolution submitted by Mr. Thune on December 1, 2025, in the 119th Congress. The resolution aims to streamline the confirmation process in the Senate by authorizing the en bloc consideration of a large number of nominations on the Executive Calendar. En bloc consideration allows the Senate to consider and vote on multiple nominations at once, rather than individually, which can save time and expedite the confirmation process. The nominations included in this resolution span various government positions, including:
The resolution, if agreed to, would allow the Senate to vote on all these nominations as a single package, rather than holding individual votes for each one.
