The generals will tell him no.

And he will replace them with someone who will say yes.

Genuinely curious: how can he? Does POTUS have control over the entire chain of command?

His official title is commander-in-chief. The generals answer to him AFAIK.

the military might be the only thing that stops him. Hence why i didn't include it.

But i have no idea. Literally every other duty, and every other branch will be under the whims of the stupidest person in america right now.
