"House members approved the move in a vote of 326 to 78
Senators approved the move soon after, approving the move in a vote of 69 to 27 "

Are we moving to more bipartisanship? Let us hope so.

Well General Mattis also didn’t wait 7 years before becoming the Sec Def.... so I guess it’s not a rule anymore.

Then why even have the rule that you have to be off active duty 7 years?
