What allows presidents to interpret the Constitution to extend their authority over foreign policy and their ability to use the country's military?
Presidents are NOT allowed to interpret the constitution and they are the Commander in Chief of the military. To use the military they need permission of Congress and can't just put them somewhere. The Sec. of State is the principal person involved with foreign policy and any treaties have to be approved by Congress before they go into effect. The constitution provides for a system of checks and balances to make sure no branch is more powerful than another. The president is not a king deciding issues alone.

Implied powers are the authorities that although are not specifically delegated in the constitution are still a power.

Though this is not listed in the constitution because there were no airplanes during this time, it was implied that Congress should provide for all of the military. justapebbleinthesea.blogspot.com

Who has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power?
The President does not have the power to declare war. Will whoever said this please read the Constitution for goodness sake! He was granted the power (unconstitutionally) by Congress to invade a country for 60 days and then the Congress must declare war to continue. The power Congress took to grant this power to the President is not a power the Constitution grants to Congress. Our present Congress is a mockery of Congress' of the past who actually took their oath of office to uphold the Constitution very seriously. Congress is one branch of the government and if they do not do their job as defined in the Constitution we lose all the checks and balances the founding fathers knew were so important to prevent tyranny. Anyway, apparently this statement means the president wants the Military to be in charge instead of the people. The people are the civil power. I know for a fact that the Illinois Constitution states: "The military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power". This is also true in the US Constitution and I strongly believe that any president of the United States must be well versed in the Constitution and how it was defined by the founding fathers or we will lose everything our ancestors worked so hard to obtain for the people of the United States of America. So many men and women of this country have given up their lives to protect our freedoms we cannot just let the Federal Government take them all away from us. We must all learn the Constitution and it's meaning. Education is the only way to save this country. Please take some time, read the Constitution, read the Federalist Papers, read the Law of Nations and understand what your inalienable rights are before they are all taken away.
