Their claim about Trump not being an "officer" seems pretty thin to me.


Without knowing the context, why is that thin? Civilian control of the military is one of our bedrocks.

It's not about military officers.

Trump's team is trying to say that only an appointed official who has taken an oath to uphold the Constitution can be an "officer of the United States", while elected officials who have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution cannot.
