According to section (a)(6) of federal statute 50 U.S. Code 3021, a civilian like Steve Bannon will in fact need to go through Senate confirmation and approval in order to serve on the National Security Council because he doesn’t fit into any of the five listed pre-approved categories. That obscure law, which has remained obscure because no president has ever tried to put a political hack on the NSC until now, was dug up by MSNBC analyst Jonathan Alter late on Monday night. This sets up a remarkable showdown if Trump goes ahead with the Bannon pick, because few in either party have shown any affinity or trust for the guy – and they’ll have limitless material for embarrassing him.
Evidently the donald chose Bannon's role in the White House (Chief Strategist) because no confirmation is required for that. Evidently he and a lot of other people didn't know that the NSA has pre-approved slots for those with particular credentials. Bannon, since he is unqualified on the basis of those requirements, will need to face a confirmation hearing in the Senate! With a history like his, it would be some AMAZING tevee.
It would be such an embarrassment that donald will likely have to withdraw the appointment. Just one more example of the rookies bumbling around like bulls in a china shop.

This was on Facebook from the Palmer Report. I think it is real. I sure hope it is.

Lawrence Tribe seems to think Senate confirmation is not required.

Bannon May Need Senate Confirmation for NSC Role
Bannon’s appointment is so unusual that experts disagree on how the statute should be applied.
