This practice has been used for 90 years.

Bush made 171 appointments.
Clinton made 139,
Obama made 32.

Senate conformation takes 60/40 majority to avoid the dreaded filibuster.

Our Legislative Branch operates as a democracy.
That simple 51/49 majority should decide simple job applications.

The new filibuster rule:

you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” ---Ralph
