Talk:Executive Order 9981

message: One of the enumerated powers given in Article I to Congress is: "To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces;". So I would suppose that Congress had passed Legislation allowing the President to "regulate the land and naval forces"; without the Consent of Congress? Does any one have a link to that act?

replies: text: Being Commander-in-chief gives him operational command of the military but does not give him the power to regulate it as that is a power expressly given to Congress in Article I. Just something else to prove my theory that the President has become too powerful. Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 16:15, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  The president is forbidden to give orders to the military that violate laws passed by Congress, but as long as he does not run afoul of those laws, he can make rules for the military. Giving such orders is his authority as commander in chief. Michael Hardy (talk) 00:34, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

message: The "Before Executive Order 9981" section appears to be heavily opinionated, and looks to given from a personal point of view rather than a neutral and unbiased one. Furthermore, the editor admits to have based his source for the information off of a historical paper he wrote for an event, rather than acquiring the information from a neutral source. Finally, the entire history section appears to have been relegated to a second-hand position despite bearing first source information on the subject. Vivaporius (talk) 16:31, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Not one word about Wilson's segregation of the armed forces.  Without some explanation of how the services became segregated, the article is weak.  Abenr (talk) 16:05, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
