Garbage headline. His powers were not revoked as these are constitutionally defined as his. If the generals decided to disobey, that is their choice, but it does not change the fact that the president is the commander-in-chief.

A president can be rendered powerless if those answering to him refuse to follow orders, and that's true with the military and with his cabinet members.
What needs to happen after that kind of action against the president, is for major investigations to occur, not only by congress, but by other military officials who were not in agreement with the disobeying brass. Investigation can still occur, and those refusing to obey the president can still be punished.

The validity of Trump's power was not put an end to as you point out. But his operational power, sure sounds like they were going to disobey, operationally putting an end to Trump's power.

Good point. The generals can only disobey; they cannot revoke.

They defied him by not giving intelligence. They refused his request for the guard based on an idea of him misusing the guard. (So, they say that was the reason) they certainly can’t say they refused the guard so there would be chaos. We saw how certain members of the Capitol Police inflamed the crowd.
