All that wasted effort and bafflegab effort just to deflect away from the fact that you totally flopped on the actual subject that started this conversation. Let's list the errors you made and still stand:
1. Confused "officers of the United States" in Art. II, sec. 2 and 3 with military officers (and you still seem to be confused).
2. First claimed POTUS only nominates officers above the rank of 07 (even though you yourself showed above that it's all officers 04 and above without apparently realizing and certainly not admitting that you were wrong.
3. Brought up the completely irrelevant and unrelated matter and singular case of a POTUS commissioning a civilian to the rank of during war time and even there muffed it by citing the wrong man.
This is typical for rightwingers who so often are out of their depth on a subject and so arrogant that they don't even pause to look anything up before launching what they think is going to be a "gotcha" comment, gets hoist on his own petard then throws all the garbage he can dredge up in a desperation move to deflect and/or derail the subject.
