Military officers serve the Constitution, not the President.
My husband took the following Oath:
“I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
Thank you. That does make me feel better.
“Military officers serve the Constitution, not the President.”
Sure, but their commission is from the President and they serve at his pleasure.
Amen, so did I.
