With any luck, the military leaders that are left under him realize he’s on the chopping block, too, and prevent the worst from happening. I bet they can’t just decline lawful orders, but they can slow-roll them until he is out.
I have never been in the military, but I think it must chafe even the most trigger-happy military leaders to be taking orders from such a dumbass, who couldn’t get past Major when he served
Probably not. The Constitution says “all Civil officers of the United States”, but traditionally that has been interpreted as a limitation to Senate-confirmed positions like judges and cabinet officials. I certainly wouldn’t try it while this SCOTUS is in place.
My guess is that they’ll rush to do something epically stupid before that happens, like blitzkrieging Tehran so that they can claim a victory

Could HeiMiller be impeached the same way?
