I'd bet most people here went to public school and knew that it doesn't require a state of war for the president to be Commander in Chief. Guess you slept in school.
You'd lose that bet. It really means that I paid such close attention that I can probably remember a lot that is dysfunctional that I was taught.
My experience in government schools blessed our children abundantly. It made a homeschooling Mom outta me. (Yes, we used a pre-packaged curriculum so that any errors govt. schools taught me weren't handed down to them and they both have excelled in life.)
Young lady, you have an attitude problem. I suggest you point it elswhere before you DO find out what I'm a scholar in.
Shame on you for your unprovoked snottiness. I never said I was a scholar, but I HAVE alluded to the fact that I *(along with millions of my fellow-travelers) have wisdom and common sense.
I was taught that by one of our stellar government school teachers and I concur that govt. isn't good at schooling, either---simply indoctrination which, thank God they failed in with many of us.
I also....never said "still" that that was IN the constitution.
You are living proof of what is wrong with libs and this nation, but I best stop here and not continue to lower myself to your level.
So you cant prove that what you said is correct.
I could care less what you think of my attitude, I find yours to be rather insufferable.
At least I could point out the fact that you were wrong, and you couldnt refute it.
Everything else in your post is just whining.
All that chest-beating about the constitution, and you dont even know what it says, and doesnt say.
Getting your hat handed to you by a lib must hurt your ego.
US Constitution Article 2, Section 2 "The president shall be called 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."
The president shall be called Commander-in-Chief
when called into the actual service of the United States.
OR...are you folks reading it that the Militia is commanded by him when they are called into the service of the US?!
NO WONDER I was taught that at government school.
There's a comma that separates the Militia from "when called into service..."
This actually says "The president shall be called Commander in Chief when called into the actual service of the United States."

Eat crow...if you know how. I never insisted that it was in the constitution after I told another poster that I went to government school. Your ego swooped in, thinking that finally! you had me and could chew me out but what you have done here is expose what you really are.
I'm not surprised and yes, the constitution can be interpreted exactly as I was taught.
-hands sunnysee a big ole plate of crow, a fork, a napkin, and a lovely glass of Chianti.-
Here, dear, greater minds than yours have this all figured out.
Have fun reading. Commander in Chief - American Government

I'd lose a bet that the majority of posters in this forum went to public school? I doubt it.
Oh, I've got links too...even at a leftwing site by a Phd from harvard that was posting when BUSH was in office.......and I'll serve you a plate of them after I get home from base, or ASAP.
So! we both have links....this is gonna be righteous fun.
I'll actually post to you again if you think you can grow up, not act like a lib/being pitifully sophomoric.
Too cool...looks like a host of folks have beat us to this debate, so much so that there's even a poll on peoples' interpretation of the constitution on it.
Yeah, any cursory search engine use brings up countless websites with either of the interpretations.
It isn't the Militia that is controlled by him "when called into service by the US," but the sentence, OF COURSE has to start, and end by talking about Him, the president...and it does, and it is saying that the president is the commander in Chief
"when called into service by the US." In other words...
