I believe it is "Colonel" Moamar Khadafi, and he is not the president, he is the Guide of the Revolution
John McCain's father, John S. McCain Sr., held the rank of Admiral in the U.S. Navy.
No, the president may suggest a military officer be removed from rank, but the final decision must be checked by the supreme court. This is a measure of checks and balances.
Given that the highest rank possible in the US Military is Commander-in-Chief, and that the Commander-in-Chief is the President, they all held the highest rank possible. THE ABOVE answer I found here is incorrect. The Commander-in-Chief position is civilian, not military. The whole point of making the president C-in-C is to have civilian control of the military, unlike in other countries in the 18th century whose military did not answer to the government. The president is not a member of the military. I am told George Washington was the only six star general in history (before being president, of course), but I have not checked.
None. As Commander In Chief, he is head of the military in a civilian position.
Practically, the sitting president, as Commander In Chief, has the highest military authority.However, in 1976, President Gerald Ford posthumously awarded George Washington with the rank of General of The Armies of The United States, stating that he would forever outrank all officers past, present, and future. So technically, he has the highest rank of any American. [Ed note: Washington's rank was a military rank, and, as such, is still outranked by the civilian chain of command]
He was a captain in the Illinois militia. And while President, he was Commander in Chief.
