WASHINGTON, Aug 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Navy on Monday became the third branch of the military to no longer have a Senate-confirmed leader for the first time in history, as a Republican senator continues to block military nominations.

Retiring Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Mike Gilday gave up command on Monday. The Navy, Army and Marine Corps are now all without a confirmed leader.

    I sure love it when the President can dissolve legislative branches until he gets the party that he wants.😐

      You have a point in that, if that worked, a bad president could just throw insane nominations out and when none of them got confirmed go “oh look, guess you don’t like my nominations, this is my power now.”
