COMMANDER IN CHIEF yada-yada

from the Constitution of the United States

Section 2 - Civilian Power over Military, Cabinet, Pardon Power, Appointments

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

All this yak about commander in chief is mainly political propaganda. Military, or lack of military experience is not the question. As the Constitution says, it is about CIVILIAN control over the military. This is VERY important, as it is intended to keep the military subservient to the civilian sector.

Remember President (formerly five star General) Eisenhower's warning about the military-industrial complex gaining too much power.

 

It may be too late.
