He did, and he would be, unless, of course, some sort of exemption was passed.

Which the GOP would be thrilled to do so. The last one to be given such an exception is George Cattlett Marshall. The issue for General Matthis is whether or not he would be a good fit for the job. The man is a warrior, not a master bureaucrat. Not to mention his reputation of being an independent thinker may end up clashing with Trump's administration.
The bigger issue might be is Trump surrounding himself with generals. The problem is going to be that if the only tool you have is a hammer, you're going to be looking for nails to pound. Not to mention Trump's ego is going to get the U.S. into a gratuitous war. I always suspected Dubya wanted a war in Iraq to prove that he's better than his father. Trump ego is shallow enough to want to get into war to prove he is top dog.
