Chuck Hagel, John Brennan Threatened With Senate 'hold.' What's That? -- Christian Science Monitor
GOP Sen. Lindsay Graham may put a 'hold' on Senate votes to confirm Chuck Hagel to head the Pentagon and John Brennan the CIA, citing a need for more information about the Benghazi, Libya, terrorist attacks. How that would work.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) of South Carolina on Sunday threatened to place a “hold” on the nominations of Chuck Hagel to head the Pentagon and John Brennan to run the CIA. Senator Graham said he would block Senate confirmation votes on the two men until he gets more information about President Obama’s actions during the deadly Sept. 11attacks on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
“We’re going to get to the bottom of Benghazi,” said Graham on CBS News’ "Face the Nation."
Hmmm. Will that work? Is it possible for one senator to just bring Senate proceedings to a halt? Does this mean that Mr. Hagel and Mr. Brennan will twist in the wind for an indefinite period of time?
