特朗普敦促参议院确认全部161项待决提名：含25名联邦法官
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）11月9日在社交平台 Truth Social 发帖，敦促联邦参议院确认全部161项待决提名，其中包括25名联邦法官。帖文发表于美东时间11月9日18时04分，正值参议院在中期选举后复会、进入任期届满前的会期。
特朗普在帖中写道，参议院确认全部待决提名非常重要，并为此向参议院致意。161项提名与25名联邦法官这两个数字出自特朗普本人的帖文；追踪司法提名的统计显示，目前在参议院待决的法官提名人约23名，参议院司法委员会排定11月10日就其中六人的提名进行委员会表决。
这次发帖的背景是国会权力交接的时间压力。民主党在11月3日中期选举中赢得参议院与众议院控制权，新一届国会将于明年1月就职，共和党只剩下选举后这段会期推进总统提名。参议院本轮会期排定11月9日与10日开会，其后在11月16日当周与11月底至12月中旬继续开会，可用的开会日约30天。
联邦法官为终身任职，一旦确认即长期任职，因此两党历来在政权交接前加紧推进或阻拦司法提名。特朗普第一任期共任命234名联邦法官，包括三名最高法院大法官，第二任期至今已有56名法官提名人获确认。
这则帖文是特朗普的敦促表态，不是新的提名宣布。参议院尚未就这161项提名采取新的确认行动，白宫也未就这则帖文发布正式声明。（来源：特朗普）
Trump Urges Senate to Confirm All 161 Pending Nominations, Including 25 Federal Judges
President Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social on November 9, urged the U.S. Senate to confirm all 161 pending nominations, including 25 federal judges. The post was published at 6:04 p.m. Eastern Time on November 9, as the Senate returned to session after the midterm elections for its lame-duck sitting.
Trump wrote that it was very important for the Senate to confirm all of the pending nominations, and thanked the chamber for its attention to the matter. The figures of 161 nominations and 25 federal judges are Trump's own, stated in his post; trackers of judicial nominations put the number of judicial nominees currently pending in the Senate at about 23, and the Senate Judiciary Committee has scheduled committee votes on six of them for November 10.
The post comes against the clock of a transfer of power in Congress. Democrats won control of both the Senate and the House in the November 3 midterm elections, and the new Congress takes office in January, leaving Republicans only the post-election session to move the president's nominees. The Senate is scheduled to sit on November 9 and 10, again in the week of November 16, and for three weeks from late November through mid-December, about 30 sitting days in total.
Federal judges serve life terms once confirmed, so both parties have long raced to advance or block judicial nominations before a change of power. Trump appointed 234 federal judges in his first term, including three Supreme Court justices, and 56 of his judicial nominees have been confirmed so far in his second term.
The post is an urging statement by Trump, not the announcement of new nominations. The Senate has not taken new confirmation action on the 161 nominations, and the White House has issued no formal statement on the post. (Source: Donald Trump)
