Both chambers would need to approve such an exemption and Democrats are split on whether to grant it. Some like Duckworth are opposed. Others like Hirono are undecided. Yet others like Stabenow sound inclined toward it. https://t.co/Uci1nZK4Da — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Biden's nomination of Lloyd Austin puts Democrats in a bind—confirm a historic first Black defense secretary or uphold a law designed to bolster civilian control of the military. The retired general will need a waiver from the 7-year cool off period. https://t.co/Uci1nZK4Da — PolitiTweet.org

It gets tricky because Trump SecDef nominee James Mattis was granted a waiver over the objections of numerous Democrats. Some Dems now say Austin shouldn't be treated differently. Experts warn that the law becomes useless if waivers are normalized. https://t.co/Uci1nZK4Da — PolitiTweet.org
