This has resulted in the U.S. Marine Corps being without a Senate confirmed Commandant for the first time in 164 years, and leaves senior military roles unfilled, soon to include nearly half of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSince February, Senator Tommy Tuberville [R-AL] has been single-handedly blocking the promotion of hundreds of generals and admirals, threatening our national security and the orderly and necessary leadership transitions typical of our professional military, over his disagreement with the DOD\u2019s travel policy,\u201d <strong>wrote the lawmakers<\/strong>. \u201cIn the coming months, more than half of the current Joint Chiefs are required to vacate their posts, and due to Senator Tuberville\u2019s stonewalling, they\u2019ll do so without a Senate-approved successor in place.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs the leader of the Republican Conference, we count on you to hold your colleagues accountable when they recklessly cross boundaries and upend Senatorial order. Senator Tuberville\u2019s continuation of this stalemate is reckless, dangerous, and must end,\u201d <strong>the lawmakers continued<\/strong>. \u201cIt falls to you to act now, for the safety and security of our nation.
