McCain, citing complaints from two former Obama defense secretaries, says the White House micromanages policy decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/budget-policy\/congresswatch\/\"><b><span style=\"background: white;\">For the latest national security news from Capitol Hill, go to CongressWatch<\/span><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McCain, however, said last week Carter should be able to &#8220;manage the Pentagon&#8221; as well as anyone could, given his previous stints in its No. 2 and No. 3 civilian leadership posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obama&#8217;s second defense secretary, Leon Panetta, was confirmed 100-0 by the full Senate. Carter could make a run at an unanimous confirmation, though some symbolic &#8220;nay&#8221; votes are possible as objections to matters like war or Obama&#8217;s policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I can&#8217;t think of anyone who would vote against him,&#8221; McCain told reporters several times last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Senate is slated to take up the nomination at 2 p.m. (EST).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i><span style=\"background: white;\">email: <\/span><\/i><a href=\"mailto:jbennett@defensenews.com\"><i><span style=\"background: white;\">jbennett@defensenews.com<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"background: white;\">Twitter:<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BennettJohnT\"><span style=\"color: #5b9bd5; background: white;\">@bennettjohnt<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US Senate is poised to confirm Ash Carter as the next defense secretary &#8212; possibly unanimously &#8212; likely the chamber&#8217;s last legislative act before beginning a week-long recess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":82771,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":8,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[8,33,19],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1090],"class_list":["post-40292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-congress","category-home","category-pentagon"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"JT457FUUNZEOZMJDY7HGI6S5I4","arc_canonical_url":"\/congress\/2015\/02\/12\/senate-poised-to-confirm-carter-for-secdef\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Senate Poised to Confirm Carter for SecDef - Defense News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The US Senate is poised to confirm Ash Carter as the next defense secretary -- possibly unanimously -- likely the chamber&#039;s last legislative act before beginning a week-long recess.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/congress\/2015\/02\/12\/senate-poised-to-confirm-carter-for-secdef\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Senate Poised to Confirm Carter for SecDef\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The US Senate is poised to confirm Ash Carter as the next defense secretary -- possibly unanimously -- likely the chamber&#039;s last legislative act before beginning a week-long recess.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/congress\/2015\/02\/12\/senate-poised-to-confirm-carter-for-secdef\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defense News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-02-12T12:44:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-07T23:16:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"John T.
