About this episode

This episode clarifies the distinction between the powers of the commander in chief and the monarchy as envisioned by the Founders.

“Much inferior to it” - That’s how Alexander Hamilton described the commander in chief power in comparison to the crown. Yet today - most people who just yell ARTICLE II to support all kinds of unconstitutional acts don’t have a clue what the Founders set up under the constitution. On this episode, we’re setting the record straight. It’s commander. Not king. The post Commander. Not King. appeared first on Tenth Amendment Center .
