B. Interim Military Command
Command of the military shall transfer to the Secretary of Defense, unless they, too, are legally disqualified or implicated. If the Secretary is impugned or incapacitated, command shall pass to the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Neither official may use military forces for domestic law enforcement or political purposes. Their authority is limited solely to the defense of the United States against armed attack or foreign incursion.
