Michael Gilday in a ceremony Monday morning relinquished his office asIt's the first time in the history of the Defense Department that three military services are without Senate-confirmed leaders, according to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
The vice service chiefs for the Navy, Army and Marine Corps are now leading each respective service in an acting capacity and continuing certain responsibilities of their current role. All three of the vice chiefs have been nominated by President Biden for the top positions, including Franchetti, who would be the first-ever female member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff if the Senate confirms her.
Tuberville's hold prevents the usual unanimous consent process for confirming nominations, but it does not stop the Senate from bringing each nomination to the floor for a vote. The Senate has so far declined to take this approach because of the amount of time it could take.
