She could have said: The only person who is commander in chief of the Armed Forces is the president. That still would have been a dodge, but at least it would have been true.

I didn't agree with your friend, Mr. Kent, but I did—again, I agreed with him yesterday on the fact that there was no imminent threat... even in your printed testimony today on page 6, in your last paragraph on page 6, 'As a result of Operation Midnight Hammer, Iran's nuclear enrichment program was obliterated. There's been no effort to try to rebuild their enrichment capability.' You omitted that paragraph from your oral opening. Was that because the president said there was an imminent threat?
