WASHINGTON, Aug 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Navy on Monday became the third branch of the military to no longer have a Senate-confirmed leader for the first time in history, as a Republican senator continues to block military nominations.

Retiring Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Mike Gilday gave up command on Monday. The Navy, Army and Marine Corps are now all without a confirmed leader.

    I am American. I just think we’ve got a fucked up political system and can learn a lot from around the globe. I also support Ranked-choice voting and doing away with the two party system in favor of multiple parties (since there’s a lot of gray areas and less black or white). Once formed the parties can align forming coalitions to determine leadership of the upper and lower houses. While I’m at it, let’s add term limits and age limits to ALL 3 government branches (that’s right SCOTUS, I’m looking at you)

    Finally, I’d also love to see Question Time added to the US structure.
