it’s time to get a little backbone, here. This ain’t beanball! Thank you, Senator Vance…
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Senate Republicans on Thursday announced a hold policy on numerous President Joe Biden nominees in response to the 46th president’s “radical lawfare” against former President Donald Trump and other political opponents.
My understanding (I will look more deeply into it) is that ANY Senator can put a “hold” on ANY nomination, and then there has to be a vote of the whole Senate (two-thirds?) in order to overturn that “hold.”
And it could be one Senator. And then if it is overturned, another Senator could place a hold..
UPDATE. Looks like 2/3 majority to overturn.
