Sept. 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Senate voted Thursday to confirm two of President Joe Biden's appointees for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The confirmations follow months of delay caused by Sen. Tommy Tuberville's, R-Ala., boycott of nominees over his opposition to abortion.

Tuberville initiated the boycott due to military rules that allow people in the service to leave their bases in states that don't allow abortion to travel to states that do provide abortion.

The holdup on nominees for the Joint Chiefs of Staff was broken by a procedural move from Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who filed a cloture motion, which ended deliberation on the nominees, Wednesday.
