The SCOTUS specifically avoided the question of whether the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 give the President "Commander-in-Chief" authority or not. I believe these acts specifically granted this authority.
There is a HUGE difference between a person acting as President and that same person acting as Commander-in-Chief.
