About the confirmation process

The Constitution gives the Senate the power of advice and consent over many presidential appointments — cabinet secretaries, agency heads, ambassadors, and federal judges. A nomination is referred to committee, may receive a hearing, and then needs a Senate floor vote to be confirmed. This tracker follows recent civilian nominations and where each one stands.
