“And has Congress ratified this treaty?”

The president does not need ratification as all military forces are under his command. He could, for example, order all Air Force and Navy planes scrapped tomorrow at 9:00am. At this point, I’m not certain the order would be complied with, but he has eliminated dozens of command level officers for some reason.

Not true. He is merely the CiC. That is all.

The vast control of the military is in the hands of Congress. Only Congress has the authority to set the size of the military and regulate the rules and regulations of the military.

The POTUS could order that, but then even the Democrats would have to impeach Obama for treason.

At that point, I hope he would be arrested, locked up in a rubber cell, and charged with treason. Damn sonova biscuit-eater.
