Excellent
The Senate Armed Services Committee easily passed Thursday the waiver that would allow retired Gen. James Mattis to serve as Defense secretary despite only retiring from military services in 2013.
Just three committee members -- Democratic Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.) and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) -- voted against the waiver.
The committee voted immediately after Mattis' confirmation hearing, in which he sought to make clear he understands the difference between civilian leadership and military service.
