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.
Exactly...she cares more about a waiver requirement than the condtitution
Mathis military past makes no difference. The control of the military will be under the control of a civilian. Commander in Chief Donald Trump.
“the waiver isn’t required, because the infringement upon the president’s authority to nominate whomever he chooses is almost certainly unconstitutional”
On its face I would think the same thing. But it would not be unconstitutional to make the law’s requirements part of military oaths. In other words it could be illegal to ACCEPT the nomination.
Kirstin Gillibrand is an outright anal orifice. I can’t think of one single thing she’s done for NY all the while she’s been in Congress. She is just a shill for the Dumbocrat party line. They probably flipped a coin or drew straws to see who would be the one to protest waiving the 7 year post retirement requirement for the post, and she was “It”.
Quite possibly. What do you think Auh?
While such a provision barring recent Military retirees from the position would laudable in some third world hellhole prone to military dictatorship, it seems to be entirely unnecessary and counter-productive here. A former General seems like the most qualified person for the job.
Gillibrand is toad.
Wait until after Trump’s swearing in. Write the bill, fast track it, use reconciliation, pass and sign it in a couple weeks total. The reason for 7 years between active duty and civilian job in DOD? To prevent counter reaction to social change experiments, to prevent lobby connections, and to prevent vendetta replacements. 7 years was an arbitrary number longer than the term of any elected US office. 4 years will be just fine. The length of a presidency seems more than enough separation.

True. Though I know the democrat communist pols like her will kick and scream against any who love God, family, and country and Constitutional liberties and prohibitions, I am happy that the sometimes rino McCain is doing the right thing this time.
