Senate Republicans are weighing a number of options to expedite the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s nominees on the floor of the Senate in order to overcome Democratic filibusters, members warn.

While no decisions have been made, Republicans discussed a range of potential plays they could make during their Tuesday lunch as pressure mounts from Trump to stay in session to clear more of his nominees during the August recess.

While some Republicans are pushing for recess appointments, doing so would be virtually impossible at this point given that the House left town without adjourning for a five-week recess and would have to return to pass a concurrent resolution with the Senate.

The other options on the table, according to senators would be speeding up how long it takes to process nominees or grouping more of them together.

1. Terrible article. The very first sentence is wrong.

Presidential nominees can not be filibustered so nominations are absolutely NOT being slowed down by Democratic filibusters. A shameful and embarrassing display from a so called news organization.
