    Adjust font size:
    WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Gen. Peter Pace will leave his job as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when his term ends in September, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced Friday.

    Gates said he had intended to renominate Pace for the position, but after consultation with senators of both parties, he concluded that the confirmation process would be too contentious.

    Gates said he will recommend Adm. Mike Mullen, currently the chief of naval operations, as the next chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.
