Congress: Don’t Grant Austin a Waiver, but If You Do, Reform the Process Gen. Lloyd Austin III speaks at an event at West Point (U.S. Army photo, John Pellino). Four years after four-star general Lloyd J. Austin III retired from the U.S. Army, President-elect Joe Biden has tapped Austin to serve as his secretary of defense. Austin’s military career is accomplished, and his nomination, historic. But another roadblock stands in Austin’s way even before Congress can assess his merits for the cabinet position: Congress would first have to grant Austin an exemption from the statutory requirement that retired service members be out of uniform for at least seven years before running the Defense Department.
