Senate Nears Adjournment Over President’s Action
The Senate has effectively concluded its inhora and waits for the president to act to close the extraordinary session. It will likely leave three northwest senate seats for the next session and take up the court of appeals nomination for the District of Columbia if the district’s business stalls without a filled court. Many missions abroad await nominations, notably Russia, with some speculation the Washington mission may rise to an embassy status, but most posts could be filled subject to Senate confirmation when it reconvenes.
