The military draft is based upon the Constitutional authority to raise an army and navy.

Exactly what provision of the Constitution mandates service outside the military escapes me. It must be in one of those penumbras or emanations. My copy is free of penumbras and emanations, so I suppose we’ll have to wait for the Supreme Court to open up the special version they use with all the extra stuff.
