    Here’s where I need more info! I understood that the President could fire military officers. But he can’t place them? Maybe just the Joint Chiefs of Staff? Am I wrong on the first statement, the last, both?

      Senate approval is needed for any promotion of a military officer. Not sure how much leeway he has to move people around within the same rank.
