CNN's Scott Jennings Gives Constitutional Lesson on Trump's Military Control

In a recent CNN segment, Scott Jennings, a senior political commentator, found himself at odds with a fellow panelist who expressed concerns about former President Donald Trump's control over the US military ¹. Jennings, taken aback by the worry, proceeded to give a constitutional lesson, emphasizing the limits of presidential power.

At the heart of the debate lies the question of whether Trump, as president, has the authority to unilaterally control the military. Jennings argued that the Constitution clearly outlines the separation of powers, ensuring that no single branch of government, including the executive, has absolute control over the military.

Jennings' fellow panelist, however, remained concerned that Trump's influence could potentially undermine the military's independence. This concern is not entirely unfounded, given Trump's history of controversial decisions and statements regarding the military.

In a separate incident, Jennings defended Trump's pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and veteran ². Jennings argued that Hegseth's credentials, including 20 years of military service and two Bronze Stars, made him a suitable candidate for the position.
