(Daily Caller) If Harry Reid gets his way, President Obama won?t have to worry about appointing a new Homeland Security secretary that is acceptable to Senate Republicans.
Napolitano?s resignation from the department on Friday comes as the Democratic majority leader is threatening to invoke ?the nuclear option? and change the Senate?s rules to allow administration appointees to sail through confirmation without threat of Republican filibustering.
Under that scenario, Napolitano?s replacement would likely be the first major appointment made in the post-?nuclear option? era where Republicans would have no ability to stop the confirmation of a nominee they find unacceptable.
