"Odd the Commander in Chief does not fall under the UCMJ..."

Does anyone remember when Billy Jeff Clinton tried to claim he was "immune" from impeachment because he was CIC, thus a member of the armed services?

That tack fell flat on its face.

Actually, he tried to invoke the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act during the Paula Jones Suit, claiming that as CinC, he was covered as a member of the armed forces.
