US Senate Republicans invoke 'nuclear option', fast-tracking Trump cabinet nominees for confirmation
-
最新报道：According to a report from Bijie.com, Senate Republicans have invoked the so-called "nuclear option" to quickly confirm the second cabinet nominees of the Trump administration after negotiations with Democrats broke down. Republican senators passed a new Senate rule on Thursday by a vote of 53 to 45, allowing for the collective confirmation of nominees for certain executive branches, which they said was a necessary move to combat Democratic obstruction. Senate Majority Leader John Thune used a legislative procedure that allows a simple majority to overturn Senate rules, setting a new precedent. Republicans hold a majority in the Senate by 53 votes to 47. Thune is currently pushing for the simultaneous confirmation of 48 civilian nominees, most of whom are for positions as deputy secretary of state, assistant secretary of state or ambassadors.
