Bill: There was some kind of notation in a SC decision years ago that said the president is not an officer.
TenQ: Link or it's a lie




Your post indicates to me that you didn't even read the writ, which discussed this legal argument in detail. Just because you think you know what an officer is, as defined in the constitution, it doesn't mean the framers, justices and text of the constitution have to agree with you.

*** In Free Enter. Fund v. Pub. Co. Accounting Oversight Bd. (2010), Chief Justice Roberts observed that "[t]he people do not vote for the 'Officers of the United States.'"Rather, "officers of the United States" are appointed exclusively pursuant to Article II, Section 2 procedures. It follows that the President, who is an elected official, is not an "officer of the United States." ***
