Retirement controversy
Although retired as a full admiral, Mauz's retirement was delayed by Congress due to allegations he mishandled sexual harassment complaints. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) was chiefly responsible for the delay. In a letter to her, Mauz stated:
You have commented on the need to hold our senior officers accountable. I suggest that a U.S. senator has the same code and that in the case of your actions during my confirmation you should also be held accountable. You showed little interest in the truth.[8]
Mauz was later confirmed by a vote of 92–6 in favor of allowing him to retire at 4-star rank.[9]
