    A very important distinction of the Commander-in-Chief is that they specifically are a civilian and are not a part of the military. That a civilian is above the military. A civilian non-combatant does not fall under the UCMJ. Civilian combatants (in a nation vs nation conflict) can fall under the UCMJ and routinely do in times of war in the US of course.
