“A military leader becomes more important when running a war. “
Not in out Founder’s system.
A US President running a war is dependent on
congress. He becomes their puppet. He must do whatever they want for their funding. Look at Bush2.
Smart of our Founders IMO.
I was referring to military hierarchy, not the political executive branch. Of course funding for war has to come from congress, but that is besides the point.
If there are no wars or chance of a war, military generals become less important. Which is why the generals like wars.
