Thursday’s 326-78 vote would grant a waiver that would exempt Austin from the seven-year rule. All signs point to quick action in the Senate after that, putting Austin on track to be confirmed as secretary by week’s end.
Austin, a 41-year veteran of the Army, has promised to surround himself with qualified civilians and include them in policy decisions. He said he has spent nearly his entire life committed to the principle of civilian control over the military.
Interesting, but it doesn’t answer my question.
That’s gonna pi** off a few top
brass. I would also believe that’s
unconstitutional. But hey, who
pays attention to that anymore?
