The UCMJ is a federal law and the basis of our military justice system. It determines what conduct is criminal, establishes the various types of courts, and sets forth the procedures to be followed in the administration of military justice. You can find the UCMJ in Appendix 2 of the MCM, United States, 1984 or in 10 United States Code (USC) §§801-940.
The MCM is an executive order that details the rules for administering military justice. For example, it sets forth the rules of evidence for courts-martial and contains a list of maximum punishments for each offense.
The civil power to which the military power is subordinate per the Constitution is both Legislative and Executive. That means Congress and the President. It's right there in the Constitution.
Honest. Read it. Judge Lind did. She even cited it. So, darn straight, you don't know what you're talking about.
And why do you think the MCM is a clever test? I was in the army.
Under which he is being tried. If the CiC has no legit authority, then neither does the MCM.
Congress isn't in charge of the Military. The President is. Honest... It's in the Constitution. Read it. Congress declares war and holds the purse strings, that is all. The Prez is the CiC. Full stop.
And I was in the Marines. I know what point you are trying to make. I just think you are dead wrong and using horrible logic to boot.
