General David Berger is resigning as commander after 4 years of service. His deputy, General Eric Smith, whom Joe Biden has nominated as his successor, can only lead the US armed forces as acting commander without Senate approval, and is known for its quick response units. The Senate approval was blocked by Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville,
who previously said he would block all military appointments that require Senate approval in protest of the Department of Defense’s abortion subsidies.
For this reason, the new commander, as the 38th Commandant of the Marine Corps, cannot assume office or issue command directives. At the same time, you can make training, budget, and other personnel decisions.
The Pentagon supports women who need abortions
Under Secretary of State Lloyd Austin’s decision, the Pentagon will provide travel assistance to workers in Alabama for out-of-state abortions after Alabama law bans abortions.
Secretary Lloyd Austin and outgoing David Berger called on the Senate to take action on approvals at a public event Monday in Washington.
Naval command is the first high-ranking military post to be affected by the political blockade of Senator Tommy Tuberville, who is being pressured by many within his own party to abandon this form of protest.
It expires As well as the mandate of the commander of the navy, army and air forces
In the near future, the mandates of the commanders of the US Navy (US Navy), Army (US Army) and Air Force (US Air Force) will be terminated, and at the end of September, the duties of the US Chief of Staff Brig. General Mark Milley will also be retiring. Successors appointed to office may not hold office without a unanimous decision of the Senate.
In June, Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance announced a similar political blockade of the president’s nominees for Justice Department posts in protest of the federal indictment of Donald Trump in June.
