senatorial courtesy
An unwritten rule that can dictate the conformation of presidential appointments is known as the "blue slip" process. This informal practice allows senators to effectively veto judicial nominations by refusing to return a blue slip, signaling their disapproval. While not legally binding, this tradition can significantly influence the appointment process, particularly for federal judges. Additionally, it reflects the importance of senatorial courtesy and the role of state senators in the selection of nominees from their states.
No part of the government has an unwritten constitution. This is a fallacy that there is an unwritten constitution just like the idea of a "deep state."

Senatorial Privelege ( also called senatorial courtesy) is a custom in the US Senate whereby the Senate will not vote to confirm a Presidential appointee until the Senators from the state the appointee resides in consent to the Senate voting on it. This is a way for Senators to keep person they might not like from being confirmed in the appointment. Or as a way of getting some concession from the President in return for allowing the Senate to vote on confirmation. There is no law or provision in the Constitution for this. It exists as a custom only. All Senators go along with it no matter how it hurts either the office that is waiting for the appointee to take over or how it hurts the appointee. They go along with it because they know that sometime they might want to hold up someone's confirmation and would expect the rest of the Senate to go along with the delay. A Senator does not have to give any reason for holding up a vote for confirmation through senatorial privelege and there is no way to force the Senate to take a vote other than by way of public criticism to embarass the Senator into releasing the vote.
