Thomas B. Modly is an American businessman and government official who has served as Acting United States Secretary of the Navy since November 24, 2019.

Modly, who was confirmed as the United States Under Secretary of the Navy on December 4, 2017, performed the duties of the Secretary of the Navy while Richard V. Spencer was Acting Secretary of Defense and Acting Deputy Secretary of Defense from July 15, 2019, to July 31, 2019

Getting sick of this shit. What the hell happened to Senate confirmation??? Used to be that you would only appoint people to an administration as an "acting" whatever during a recess or during a sudden absence, and then install somebody a little more permanent as soon as you could and get him or her through a formal confirmation process.

The biggest culprit of all is the Acting President...who's doing a piss-poor job of pretending to be a real POTUS.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
