Really? Where does it say that?
Article II Section 2: -- 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;
Article I Section 8: -- Congress shall have the power...
11 -- To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years;
12 --To provide and maintain a navy;
13 -- To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces;
14 -- To provide for calling forth the militia... |
It's in part of what you quoted. Note:
11 -- To raise and support armies,
but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years. The army is obviously intended to be temporary and not a permanent entity within the executive branch, since the money appropriated for an army can only be for up to two years. And it's the role of Congress to raise up this army, not the executive branch.
Notice, however, that there are no such limits on a navy:
12 --To provide and
maintain a navy.
AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO QUOTE ME, SPELL MY NAME CORRECTLY!!!!!!!
