The president’s comments come as hundreds of top #military positions are now w/o a #Senate-confirmed permanent officeholder, among them the chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff & the #commandant of the #MarineCorps. The vacancies, accumulating as top officials reach retirement age, have typically been nominated & confirmed by the Senate in slates.

“The idea that we don’t have a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the idea that we have all these promotions & we don’t know what’s going to happen, the idea that we’re injecting into fundamental foreign policy decisions what, in fact, is a domestic social debate is bizarre,” Pres #Biden said in response to a reporter’s question.

President #Biden called #Tuberville’s block on #military promotions “ridiculous” & “totally irresponsible.” He also noted the immediate impact the hold has already had.
