The Senate Finance Committee has scheduled a hearing for October 2, 2018 on the nomination of Andrew Saul to become Commissioner of Social Security. However, this is only for the term ending January 19, 2019.
What bother to confirm him for a term that ends so soon? The reason that comes to mind is that they don't think he can be confirmed for a full term if Democrats win a majority in the Senate in the November election. They want to get him in the job so that he can hold over as Acting Commissioner.
