As former CID I can tell all of you this. The UCMJ has always maintained that transgenders are to administravely seperated from the military. Obama didn't change, The POTUS can't change the UCMJ only CONGRESS can do that. Obama merely ordered that this portion of the UCMJ would not be enforced. Trump has merely said "it will not be enforced" If CONGRESS wants trannies in the military Congress can vote to change the UCMJ just as they did to allow gays to openly serve.

The relevant portion of the UCMJ has been posted several times in this . As for the President's ability to just change the UCMJJ to allow certain groups who were previously not permitted to stay in the military to now stay in. Ask yourself , and your friend , this. Why did Obama then go to Congress in 2010 and get the UCMJ changed so that gays could openly serve? Why didn't he just unilaterally change the UCMJ himself? Well, the answer is simple, because he couldn't.
See, Trump can't over ride that even if he wanted to, he can not reverse the decision to allow gays to openly serve because Congress changed the law.
Likewise, if the UCMJ allowed trannies to serve , Trump couldn't change that.
On the other hand , since the UCMJ actually says trannies can't serve all Obama did was essentially tell the military to ignore that portion of the law. And now Trump has said "no will now enforce that part of the law"
That's what makes comments from asshats like McCain so pathetic. Has he ever endorsed or introduced a bill to change the UCMJ to allow trannys to serve? Nope, and he never will because he doesn't want trannies in the military either, but this way he can fool the rubes into believeing that Trump changed the law, when Trump didn't do so, because he can't.
This is really common sense stuff that if not for a pure hatred for Trump from so many points could be shown to be the way it is. Some just don't want to accept it.
