Cloture, not having achieved 60 votes in the affirmative, was not invoked in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 43 - 37. Record Vote Number: 633. (CR S8501)

Plain-English Summary

This resolution would allow the Senate to vote on multiple presidential nominations at once in a closed-door session rather than debating each one individually. The measure failed to advance when it did not receive the 60 votes needed to proceed, with senators splitting 43-37 on whether to move forward.
