UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION - ARTICLE 2. SECTION 2. 1
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States ...
And the Military Code of Justice has something to say about that:
Under the military's Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), service members have a duty to disobey any order that is clearly illegal, such as one that violates the Constitution, U.S. law, or international human rights standards. Conversely, failing to obey a lawful order is a violation of Article 92 of the UCMJ, and can result in punishment, including a court-martial. An order is considered unlawful if it directs a service member to commit a crime, is beyond the authority of the officer, or otherwise conflicts with the law.
