Multiple Nominations

[USNA69]

<p>

@bulletandpima

unless someone can show me that they have to adhere by law, it is a guide. I can only say that our MOC gives<br>
a “primary” not principal. I am and have always been aware of how the system works.

</p>

<p>US Code, Title 10, Subtitle C, Part 111, Chapter 603, Section 6954 (USNA. but the others are exactly the same}:</p>

<pre><code>

Each Senator, Representative, and Delegate in Congress, including
the Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico, is entitled to nominate
10 persons for each vacancy that is available under this section.
Nominees may be submitted without ranking or with a principal
candidate and 9 ranked or unranked alternates. Qualified nominees
not selected for appointment under this subsection shall be
considered qualified alternates for the purposes of selection under
other provisions of this chapter.

<p>Looks as if your MOC needs to read the law.</p>

<p>Additionally, there were some very good reasons posted above as to why the SAs would rather a competitive slate be submitted. I didn’t notice anything disrespectful in any of them.</p>
