Commander-in-chief > Joe is not Commander-in-chief, the highest ranking military officer administering occupied territory is.
Power to replace senior officials (DEPT'S) > Deputies in DoD
...who can replace SR MID LOW trickle down > Devolution, also DoD Instruction/Directive changes which reorganize duties (currently ongoing)
Power to appoint SC JUSTICES > missiles, nuclear weapons. "Only President, AS COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, may employ nuclear weapons" per the commas in the DoD nuclear surety Directive. Not Joe. Not anyone.
