No military force is allowed in the United States that is not subject to the President of the United States

What if the president were a despot? Would the military still report to him? What if they did?

Would it be immoral, illegal, unethical, unconsititution for a private army to arise to overthrow a despotic president and his armies?

The Constitution says what it says.

Don't conflate the 2nd Amendment's reference to "the people" with the milita. They are two distinct entities, one being composed from members of the other.
