Clause 1: The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;

That last phrase applies to the militia of the several States, not the Army and Navy. But even if it did, they are *always* in the actual service of the United States.

That last phrase applies to the militia of the several States, not the Army and Navy. But even if it did, they are *always* in the actual service of the United States.

The last clause applies to both phrases, not just the militia.

The clause "actual service" indicates war or armed conflict, not just existing.
