Thank you for the clarification, CDY. I didn’t know that or forgot it. It’s been awhile since my Constitution 101 course.
Border Patrol agents don’t want to cut Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s border wire after the Supreme Court ordered that the federal government can take it down, National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that federal authorities can take down wire that Texas erected along the southern border, but the state is putting up more wire in Eagle Pass, Texas, at Shelby Park, which it took control of earlier this month. Border Patrol agents largely support Texas’ efforts, several rank-and-file agents recently told the DCNF .

“The Joint Chiefs are C-in-C until POTUS recovers or VPOTUS is sworn in.”
Note that in case of a 25-A process, it is possible for the Joint Chiefs to hold C-in-C authority until such time the (relieved) POTUS returns to duty and/or a new POTUS results from a free and fair election.
This could be months or even the remainder of the term that VPOTUS (acting POTUS) is \not\ C-in-C.
