Any G. I. Joe in the military should have standing to be assured of the President's proper qualifications. Otherwise, how can a soldier know he is being given orders from a legally formed chain of command?

The President is the Commander in Chief. If he is ineligible, then his orders may not be legal.

Right, but that would be an after the fact kind of thing. He'd have no CoC authority until he did, by virtue of taking the oath of office.
