The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments. The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.
Poster Comment: Note: The President is to be CiC over the military when there has been a declaration of war by congress and not over WE THE PEOPLE. Note also that the tinpot dictator rarely, if ever of late, refers to himself as President, but as Commander in Chief. Alex Jones is discussing this issue right now.

Cheney has big plans for Smirk: All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting. ~George Orwell The president is an executor to the congress, like an errand boy. The position in its original intent, was to have very little imput. Derry B was also talking about this just before AJ. Mark
you are correct, Mark. do you know how few Americans are aware of these facts? i heard Derry too.
War is good for business. Invest your son.
The congress over time has skirted its true duties. In place, we have an ever more powerful executive branch, that over the years has appointed judges to empower its position. I used to try and go easy on most Americans, but I`m to the point that, we are going to get exactly what we deserve. People here are just plain stupid and dumb. We as a culture and nation have our priorities way out of wack. We either have more freedom or less, we either have more liberty or less, we are either more secure in our personal papers or we are not. That is how I view current events and how I vote. Mark
