That's why the Senate never convicted Clinton. The military would have to choose between supporting the constitution, or their Commander if Chief, the President.

If the evil one had been convicted and removed he would have no longer been the CIC.

Well, Herr Klinton could've never claimed the title of "C-in-C". As that can, as I understand it, only be 'Officially' used if Congress declares War.

It, the Constitution, covers nothing about the President side-stepping it (per Lincoln), or forcing the Congress' Hand (per Roosevelt), or using the UN (per Bush the First) to attain that status.

...but....that's only my opinion....

The power to impeach lies only with the Senate. The military has no say either way. Clinton was a crook but he was judged by other crooks. This is where a republic fails in comparison with a democracy. A republic can be corrupted and ours has been.
