| Confirmation of first female Army secretary approved, then rescinded, by Senate |
| 2021-05-27 |
| [FoxNews] The Senate approved the confirmation of Christine Wormuth as Army secretary by unanimous consent Thursday – after a strange reversal of an earlier confirmation Wednesday. The first unanimous consent approval came Wednesday, but then Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., asked to reverse that decision. He didn't immediately elaborate on the move. "As in executive session, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate vitiate the previous action on Executive Calendar 135," Schumer said on the Senate floor. The Democrat deleted a tweet he had posted, hailing Wormuth's confirmation, Defense News reported. After the Senate convened at 10 a.m. ET Thursday, Wormuth was again confirmed by unanimous consent, meaning she was approved without a senator objecting, avoiding a formal roll call vote.
