A historical diversion while you wait for the vote.

Tabling of a Nomination

In 1828, before the stricture of Rule XXII existed, there was a motion to table the nomination of one Alexander Macomb. The motion to table failed on a 18 - 19 vote (18 voted to table, 19 voted to not table), so the nomination was still before the Senate. The Senate proceeded to vote on the nominee, who was confirmed with a vote of 26 - 12.
