    Beau of the Fifth Column had a good take on this.

    The Corps will have an “Acting” Commandant. Legally, there are certain things an “Acting” cannot do, but… if a Marine is given an order by the Acting, he will follow it. Period.

    The Senate is there to Advise and Consent. If all orders put out by the Acting are followed, the Senate’s purpose becomes moot. Tuberville will have handed over full control of not just the military, but all departments that relied upon Advise and Consent to Biden. Biden will no longer need to seek their consent.

    The military will have moved one step closer to no longer being under civilian control, and you can thank Tuberville for that.
