      When's the last time the No. 2 at an agency or department was nominated to lead the agency/dep't AND served as the acting head of that agency/dep't while the nomination was pending?

          Another Democrat, @SenatorHeitkamp, is also a YES on Haspel. Democratic support for Haspel has hinged in large part on her repudiating parts of her/CIA’s own past with enhanced interrogation. pic.twitter.com/1vVqXG1BBQ

          Replying to @chrisgeidner

          Isn’t that against a statute? Similar to why Noel Francisco couldn’t be Acting SG while having a pending nomination to be SG, hence Jeff Wall serving as Acting SG?

          Replying to @J_SmithEsq @chrisgeidner

          It's different from the Francisco situation. Per 5 USC 3345(b)(1) you can be the acting while your nomination is pending only if you "served as first assistant to the vacant office for at least 90 days in the year preceding the vacancy." Haspel qualifies; Francisco did not.
