It is really strange that this fact is not at the top of the coverage. Nobody at the DoD has the authorization to change anything. Aren't they really big on the chain of command over there??

A lot of his EO's aren't allowed without an act of Congress, and the courts have already ruled most of them are illegal. I believe these are just tacticts to keep everyone distracted.

Assuming that this country survives Trump I wonder what will be made of this presidency. The "Department of War" can be accused of "Dereliction of Duty" for not being able to figure out what to do about a "Domestic Enemy".
