Re: Obama admin. told wary military officials to ‘suck it up and salute’ on Taliban r
How so? Is he not in charge? Does he not hold the ultimate command authority? Last I checked constitutionally he being the commander in chief has no restrictions on how he may go about distributing orders and to whom in the military. They all be subordinate. They are his to use once congress unleashes him. If he wants to sack his commanders, I do believe he can. Is there something in the constitution that says otherwise? Taking your division commander example, say said president does that prior to sacking you, or he decides to reassign you elsewhere but wants to move the unit first? I honestly don't see were the president cant do these things unless there is something specific somewhere that says he cant. I am aware of nothing that does restrict the president in that capacity.Neither his prerogative, nor his right.
