2003.12.31 - PEGC Correction ============================ Well so much for that bright idea -- there is a special provision that applies to the four instant Major Generals: 10 USC § 603 - Appointments in time of war or national emergency http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/10/stA.html But that still leaves the "Appointing Authority", which is a civilian job (so they say) and seems like it should also require Senate confirmation. But I don't know, it's outside my main focus, and I'm too busy with other stuff to worry about it right now.
