All the presidents
This means that not only this president has the Constitutional mandate to be commander in chief and to affect foreign policy, but EVERY PRESIDENT does.
But you're not fearmongering, are you? No.
That is what the author means, but he is completely incorrect. The President's constitutional authority in military matters does not extend to authority in funding, which is specifically granted to Congress.
I have a feeling besides, that the author will suddenly develop some perspective on the separation of powers if (god forbid) H.Clinton should be elected president. Probably you will too.
