Senators may be skipping the traditional August recess, but that does not mean they will be spending too much time on Capitol Hill.

Just before the Senate adjourned shortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday, Republican Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado had the responsibility of getting several district judges confirmed, passing remaining legislative items and — perhaps most importantly — announcing the schedule.

The Senate will hold brief pro forma sessions only until Wednesday, Aug. 15. Those sessions, which are not designed to include legislative business, prevent President Donald Trump from making recess appointments.

When the Senate returns on Aug. 15, senators will hold the caucus lunches that typically take place on Tuesdays. But they won’t be voting until 5:30 p.m. (meaning it might feel more like a Monday).

The first roll call vote will be on a motion made earlier Wednesday by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to limit debate on the nomination of A. Marvin Quattlebaum Jr. for a seat on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
