Then the President decides. Same as if it were not a deadlock. The President could pick any of the Chiefs’ suggestions. Or he could pick some other option altogether.
I grant that there is a danger there. The Chiefs are professionals. Their opinions should matter. However, I cannot see where one person’s opinion (the Chairman’s) should carry more weight than any other opinion.
