Has Wes Clark been out of the military long enough to qualify for Sec. Defense? |
|
Isn't there a time period that you have to be out of the military before you can be considered for the position?

1. 10 years, but this rule has been overlooked before |

No, he hasn't been out for 10 years if that's what you're asking.
I think he'd actually make a solid Sec of State with his understanding of world history and international relations. The man is very much a student of the world.

3. There was mention of this problem before on DU. |
|
Apparently, it would require the consent of Congress; probably NOT a problem, given what Congress is likely to look like next year (:toast: :toast: :toast:)
