WaEx: The Senate Armed Services Committee on Wednesday cleared one of the final hurdles for retired Gen. James Mattis to become defense secretary shortly after President-elect Trump takes office.
The committee voted 26-1 that the full Senate should approve the nomination once it’s received, meaning it will not have to be referred to the committee and can be approved by the full Senate as soon as the next president sends it to Capitol Hill, according to a committee press release.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., who has opposed Mattis’ nomination over concerns about civilian control of the military, was the only “no” vote, according to a spokesman. more
“Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.”

Excellent! Maybe he can start cleaning house of all of Obama’s political officers.
Kirsten Gillibrand thinks she is going to the first female President of the United States of America. This is her opening gambit.
Gillibrand’s deep concern was how the lesbians, gays, trannies, and such would be treated. What a worthless POS.
Godspeed, Sir.
