The new procedure outlined in the resolution from Rules and Administration Chairman Roy Blunt, R-Mo., and Oklahoma Republican James Lankford would allow up to two hours of debate after cloture is invoked to end filibuster threats against nominees to be federal district judges as well as most executive branch posts.

Federal appeals judges, members of some boards and commissions, as well as Cabinet-level executive branch nominations would still subject to as many as 30 hours of post-cloture debate.
