In the Senate of the USA, a dispute is unfolding regarding women in the military. According to the Constitution, the appointments of ministers and senior officials must be confirmed during voting in the Senate after a hearing before the corresponding committee.
The minister appointed in the administration of President Donald Trump was Lloyd Austin, with a significant voting preference despite opposition from Democrats and three members of the Republican party in the Senate. Despite the fact that the majority in the Senate belongs to the Republicans - 53 seats out of 100, the new Vice President Kamala Harris intervened personally to use her deciding vote to break the deadlock.
