Tom Coburn is one of 100 senators not one of 435 congresspersons. Originally Posted by catnipdipper

I've heard stories of a single senator holding up nominees from confirmation votes and legistlation not leaving committees because of them. i think individual senators have more power to block them you're giving them credit for Galt.

Don't forget Senator John McCain blocking the release of POW-MIA files all by his little self. Sometimes ya gotta leave 20 soldiers to die in Laos if ya wanna be president, huh. (Google: November 11, 1992 , PAVE STRIKE, McCain)
