This decision takes off the table the prospect for Trump to fill the Fed governor seat to be vacated this coming week by Adriana Kugler with a recess appointment, which would bypass Senate confirmation.

Senate just agreed by unanimous consent at the request of Majority Leader Thune to hold pro forma sessions every 3 days following today’s session and not return for votes until Tuesday, Sept. 2nd. This agreement will block President Trump from making recess appointments. @cspan 2
The term of whoever might have this seat currently expires on 1/31/2026, so to remain in the seat, whoever fills it will have to have two confirmation votes if they fill it before Jan. 31. (One vote to fill the term ending 1/31/2026, and another fill the term ending 1/31/2040)
