Order of Procedure

This was a procedural Senate session on scheduling rather than a substantive debate. Senator Lummis asked unanimous consent to set up votes on the confirmation of the Traynor nomination and on a motion to discharge S.J. Res. 180, a joint resolution directing the removal of U.S. forces from hostilities against Iran not authorized by Congress. The rest of the available record consists of scheduling requests; no substantive arguments for or against the resolution appear in the sampled statements.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .

Official Congressional Record

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent, notwithstanding rule XXII, that the postcloture time with respect to the Traynor nomination be expired, and the Senate vote on confirmation of the nomination immediately following disposition of the motion to discharge S.J.
