Under the full depth of the Devolution theory, we don't have a true CIC right now. Control of the military is wound down to the 11 combatant commanders, while Puddin' Head plays house.

Remember, there's a metric shit ton of National Security Presidential Memoranda (NPSMs) that DJT filed in the final 2 weeks of his first term. An unprecedented number, in fact. I do believe that some of those, along with the PEADs which set the conditions of responses to specific actions, are tied to the COVID national emergency, which our cast of characters are in no rush to end.

Statutorily, they may be fucked once they do.
