There isnt a need to unless the special counsel is going to operate independently.
Also, as in the case that was argued about jack smith, everyone argued that since he was an inferior officer, he didnt require senate approval. Is this not correct? The question basically comes down to, is he a superior or inferior officer.
Smith, it was argued, required senate confirmation because he was given broad powers that allowed him to operate independently, thus making him a superior officers. Martin, being the special prosecutor in this case, is operating under a more limited authority. No?
So, no confirmation would be needed?
