Reply to comment by scottydg in UK calls on IOC to maintain Olympic ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes by rejs7

The Judicial Branch is filled with lawyers and judges. The legislative branch is filled with politicians. I always thought the executive branch would logically be military (I mean it was for our first president I guess), not just more politicians that switched jobs

It is. The President is the Commander in Chief, who outranks everyone in the military, orders them to do things, all that. Congress controls spending and has the exclusive right to declare "War", which the President then uses to act with more power than under normal circumstances.

Yes I know. Which is why I meant like military officers should be the people we choose for the presidency. Not congress people that decided they wanna be president
