He previously received committee and Senate approval for appointments as assistant attorney general and deputy attorney general.

But vociferous members of both parties who want Powell removed from Congress promised to try to block the committee's proposal, and a tangled parliamentary path awaits the censure resolution before its likely approval later in the day.
