Christine Wormuth was once again confirmed as Army secretary Thursday morning after the Senate revoked her confirmation Wednesday night over an apparent procedural snafu that was quickly resolved. She is the first woman to hold the position.
Wormuth’s confirmation appeared to wrap up Wednesday night when Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., got unanimous consent to put her in the Army’s top civilian position.
But about two hours later, after the Senate had announced the confirmation via Twitter, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., revoked it. It is not clear why Wormuth’s confirmation was rescinded for about 10 hours; Schumer’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
The reversal appeared to be due to a procedural snag that was quickly resolved. Wormuth’s nomination was noncontroversial, and she breezed through her confirmation hearing with little pushback from Republicans.
