Senate quickly confirms multiple appointees on consent
Summary
After returning from executive session the Senate approved several confirmations by voice and roll call, with the presiding officer announcing unanimous or near-unanimous tallies for multiple consent items.
The Senate returned from executive session and took up several consent confirmations, moving them in grouped votes. A motion to confirm appointees who had cleared the confirmation process was made and the presiding officer directed the roll call. "Without objection," the Chair said as voting machines were opened and closed to record the results.
The clerk announced the tallies for the consent actions. For one set of appointees the secretary reported "37 ayes and 0 nays" and the presiding officer declared the motion carried; a subsequent roll call on notaries closed with the secretary announcing "38 ayes" and the Chair again said the motion carries. The actions were routine confirmations carried on the consent calendar; no floor debate followed the roll calls.
