I did this yesterday, and for you to ignore it is typical. I repeat, *"Whether You Like It~~Or Don't Like It; It Is~~What It Is"* and the words are quite clear, concise and distinct. Article II, Section II:
*"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States,"* (Please Take Note Of The Commas!) As compared to Article I, Section VIII; Paragraph XI: "*To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water"*; (Emphasis added....I hope this helps you!)
