One of the 260-plus military nominations on hold by Senator Tommy Tuberville is the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, America's top military officer.
to encourage Tuberville to drop his opposition. The senator told reporters later Thursday that he had just spoken with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and expected to speak with him again.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville speaks to reporters in the Senate subway at the U.S. Capitol July 10, 2023 in Washington, DC. And it stretches to hundreds more younger military personnel who don’t need Senate confirmation but are still affected by the hold because they are assigned to serve as staff or aides to the relocating generals. Those aides move their families as well. So they are essentially stuck, too.
The Alabama senator’s action bucks decades of precedent in which swaths of military officers and promotions are approved by voice vote and with no objections. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jack Reed, D-R.I., has said that if the Senate were to vote individually on the 260 nominations, it would take 27 days with the Senate working "around the clock" or 84 days if the Senate worked eight hours a day.
