the waiver isn’t required, because the infringement upon the president’s authority to nominate whomever he chooses is almost certainly unconstitutional

congress will probably go ahead and approve the waiver, but it’s totally unnecessary.

"While I respect Gen Mattis's service, I oppose a waiver-civilian control of our military is a fundamental principle of American democracy," Gillibrand tweeted.

Does this idiot realize Mattis is a civilian now?

No you don’t you dumb Dem. You don’t like him because he brings a warrior attitude to the Pentagon.

Gillibrand is such a hack. She probably doesn’t remember George Marshall: General of the Army, then Defense Secretary under Harry Truman.

Another liberal harpy trying to make a name for herself. She is stupid, uninformed, and ignorant. But she is a liberal.

Dumbass b*tch doesn’t seem to understand Mattis is out of uniform and he is a civilian.

Democrats seems to be brain-damaged in understanding reality.

How about a special bill authorizing the military draft of one individual, Kristen Gillibrand.

Draft her into the Navy then assign her as the coffee procurement aide, and latrine cleaner for the new Secretary of Defense.

Hey Bimbo! “Civilian control” of the military is the reason why we haven’t won any wars lately, why we end up fighting for ten years and why we have so many military men and women dead or ripped apart by your Muzzie pals. STFU! Just my two cents. And shove your ROEs too.

This twit is likely going to be the rat pick to run against DJT in 2020.

I hope Mr. Trump keeps this up, giving all these rabid left rat dems aneurysm's through his picks; an easy way to rid our country of these retromingent jackasses.

Gillibrand. A stupid statement dumb Gillibrand. I looked and the first Secretary of War was Henry Knox who was a Major General in the Continental and then U.S. Army.

Gingerbread up for re-election in 2018. Prime candidate for removal even for NY.

You know, the irony of a Senate Democrat arguing that something can’t be done is astounding. Thanks to Harry Reid, the majority can now run over the minority in most situations like an already flattened squirrel in the road. I would strongly advise the Republicans to give the Democrats back some of their medicine, especially on behalf of a fighter like Mad Dog Mattis.

Does a recently retired general need a waiver to run for president? After all, the president is the Commander in Chief and outranks the SecDef.

This is silly.
