The Senate on Thursday will resume consideration of S. 679, a bill to streamline the presidential appointment process, and is expected to vote around noon on amendments offered by Sens. David Vitter (R-La.) and Jim DeMint (R-SC).

Vitter's amendment would end the ability of the White House to appoint policy "czars," and prohibit funds for salaries and expenses for appointed czars. DeMint's would end the U.S. government's authority to provide loans to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and rescind related appropriated amounts.
