Because this misguided person is wrong does not mean the president has to be burden with this nonsense. And what does this former general even know? I am being sarcastic!!!!!!!, but follow similar posting of this type, and you will read most of the above. That this people are willing to put it all on the line, leads many to believe that frankly, they are nuts.
Military Law and Precedents Volume page 49, states all orders come from the Commander in Chief or his representatives.
I believe Patrick Henry had something to say about that.
You really believe that the Pres never gives direct military orders?
.......Orders were issued by others and not him.....
But...they were acting on his orders. If he is not valid CIC, the Chain of Command is broken
