    Pity they couldn’t court martial him. He was CiC when he fomented insurrection. That would really blow the conservative mind, with their military worship they wouldn’t know what to do. Attack the military for throwing trump in Leavenworth?

      A very important distinction of the Commander-in-Chief is that they specifically are a civilian and are not a part of the military. That a civilian is above the military. A civilian non-combatant does not fall under the UCMJ. Civilian combatants (in a nation vs nation conflict) can fall under the UCMJ and routinely do in times of war in the US of course.
