And the beat goes on..

How is it that the acting Secretary can unilaterally override an EO? This is why all the delays in confirmation of cabinet members. It would be interesting to see a complete list of those critical new hires. Wonder how many are SES, Senior Executive Service and how many will be there to provide direct care.

The XO itself provides for necessary exceptions in its text. Since Trump commuted to increasing care for vets, it stands to reason that this would be an authorized exception from the start.

That's 'committed to'. BTW, Master Chief, I know I'm cynical, but you've got me beat. Life does that to us, don't it?

MSgt George Cater - Understand that, but if any department head can exempt their numbers without justification, the EO is meaningless. Confirm the new Secretary and justify the exemptions.

MSgt George Cater - The longer one is on this planet in the upright position, cynicism becomes second nature. I prefer the term realist.
