The Marines are the only branch of the military that answers directly to the President.

This is not true, at least I don’t think it is. Commandant, Sec of Navy, Sec of Defense, then President.

The entire United States Military answers to the President. Hence the title “Commander-in-Chief.”

Not correct. Not directly.

answers to the President through the Secretary of Defense. The Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) reports directly to the Secretary of the Navy, who in turn reports to the Secretary of Defense.

This is retarded. USMC is under the DoD, equal entirely in chain of command to all other branches.

It’s not true at all, but they believe everything they read on the internet.

You are correct. Like all branches they answer to the President through the secretary of defense.

Yes. They report through the Navy to the DoD in the same way that the Army, Air, and Space Force do, or that the Coasties report through DHS in peacetime.

No, the USMC doesn’t report “directly” to the POTUS.
