Who is the Commander in Chief of the military?

1. The military needs one leader at the top who is answerable to the voters. 2. The Constitution gives that role to the President, who is the Commander in Chief. 3. So the same person who leads the executive branch also leads the armed forces. 4. The Chief Justice leads the Supreme Court and commands no soldiers, which rules that option out. _Source: USCIS Civics Flash Cards M-623 (rev. 02/12), public domain, official civics question 32_
