Senate Revokes Confirmation of First Female Army Secretary Over Apparent Procedural Issue

[chowderhead]

She's been confirmed...

Might've simply been an error in how it was handled or processed, and Schumer didn't want complications over it if they tried to conceal it?

I don't know...can't imagine why else they would have bothered "cleaning it up".

basically most of these routine/non contraversial matters are handled by unanimous consent. That is what Murray thought everyone agreed to when they put her name to be confirmed. Most likely one of the usual suspects like Cruz or Hawley or Paul objected after the fact and they had to redo the vote.

The Senate's about-face Wednesday night stemmed from a procedural hold Sen. Kevin Cramer (D-N.D.) placed on the nomination — a parliamentary tactic that allows a senator to slow down a nominee — over an issue unrelated to Wormuth. Cramer said the Senate mistakenly approved her nomination before he had removed the hold, requiring leadership to backtrack.

"I had a hold on her. I think you probably all suspected that," Cramer told reporters Thursday. "They accidentally confirmed her by [unanimous consent] and then they unconfirmed her ... because I hadn't lifted my hold. But I did today. So that's what happened last night."

Senate confirms Wormuth as first female Army secretary — for real this time

Christine Wormuth initially appeared to be confirmed Wednesday evening, but the Senate quickly pulled it back.
