NO she does not outrank the SECWAR!!!
Also, she is retired and outranks no one. She will be a Congresswoman and hopefully will be focused on doing the job of the people and not seeking revenge.
Maybe she was retired early because she had failed to lead her organization properly and obtain the needed results.

it happens all the time.
