美國參議院批准新任聯邦調查局局長人選

The U.S. Senate has confirmed President Barack Obama's pick to become the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, James Comey.

Senators Monday overwhelmingly supported Comey with a vote of 93-1. He will replace Robert Mueller, who has led the FBI since shortly before the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the United States.

The vote went forward Monday after Republican Senator Rand Paul ended his delaying tactics against the nomination. Paul had been blocking the vote over concerns about the domestic use of drones. He was the only one who voted against confirmation.

Comey, a Republican, served as a deputy attorney general in the previous administration of President George W. Bush.美國參議院批准奧巴馬總統提名的詹姆斯•科米爲下一任聯邦調查局局長。

參議院星期一以93比1的壓倒性多數表決支持科米的提名，他將取代2001年911恐怖襲擊發生前夕就任聯邦調查局長的羅伯特•穆勒。

這項表決是在星期一共和黨參議員蘭德•保羅結束了他反對科米提名的拖延策略之後進行的。保羅此前一直反對進行表決，他擔心在美國國內使用無人駕駛飛機，他是唯一投票反對批准提名的參議員。

詹姆斯.科米是一位共和黨人，他在喬治•W•布什總統任職期間擔任司法部副部長。
