No, it must be appealed to the C.O. of the military branch (i.e.: The Pentagon) you were discharged from.
The above answer is incorrect. Former members can apply to have their characterization of service upgraded by filling out a DD-293 and submitting it to their respective service's Discharge Review Board (DRB) if they have been separated within the past 15 years. If it has been longer, they must apply to the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) or the Board for Correction of Military Records depending on their branch of service.
A Senator does not have the authority to upgrade a discharge. One of his staff will provide a letter to the appropriate DRB, and it will be marked as "congressional interest". All it really does for the applicant is put a stamp "congressional interest" on their folder. The case will still be evaluated in the same manner regarding propriety and equity of the characterization of service, and narrative reason for separation.

How can you upgrade your bad conduct discharge?
To upgrade a bad conduct discharge, you can apply for a discharge review through the appropriate military branch’s Discharge Review Board (DRB) or the Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR). This process typically involves submitting a formal application that includes supporting documentation, such as evidence of rehabilitation or character references. It's essential to demonstrate that the discharge was unjust or that you have made significant positive changes since the discharge. Consulting with a legal advisor or veterans’ organization can also be helpful in navigating this process.
How Long Does it take for a general under honorable condition to upgrade to a honorable discharge?
It doesn't. The only way for a General (under honorable conditions) discharge to be upgraded is to go before the Board of appeals. Even then, your chances of getting an upgrade are slim (less than 1%) Even in the best of situations, if you did successfully appeal and get an upgrade, it would still be on your records because that (Honorable) was not the original characterization of discharge, and there is a code that identifies it as such. The above answer is partially correct. The characterization of service does not automatically upgrade to Honorable...ever. Members can apply to the Discharge Review Board (DRB) for their respective service to be considered for a change of characterization. Upgrades are few and far between.

What is the criteria for changing a dishonorable discharge to honorable discharge?
If a Dishonorable discharge (DD) was recieved, it is highly unlikely any change will be made. DD is the most punitive discharge characterization that can be awarded. The process is to apply for a change in characterization to the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) for Navy and Marines, or the Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR) for Army. If a former member recieved a General, Under Other Than Honorable (OTH) or Bad Conduct Discharge, the procedure is to apply for an upgrade of characterization to the Navy Discharge Review Board (NDRB) for Navy and Marines or the Discharge Review Board (DRB) for their respective service. In either case, applicants must show through documentation, and clear issues and arguments their case warrants an upgrade due to an impropriety or inequity. There is no clear cut criteria for upgrading charcterization of service. Each case is considered on a case by case basis, and on it's own merits. However, there are several items that must be included in the application package if it is going to have a good chance of success. These include: clear, coherent issues of impropriety or inequity, documentation to support these issues, and documentation of post-service conduct which could show the applicant's misconduct was an isolated incident, and not indicative of his overall charcter.
