Christine Wormuth made history as the first woman ever to be confirmed by the US Senate as Secretary of the Army – only to have the upper chamber reverse itself in what observers are calling a ‘procedural hiccup.’
In a strange twist, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the Democrat from New York, asked the Senate to rescind Wormuth’s nomination hours after it was approved by unanimous consent.
‘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.
