The Congressman. The page in question is over the age of consent, so that is not an issue, being gay. The "Senator" obviously does not have what it takes to be Commander in Chief!

appointed! (B - sorta ... but it's not just that easy)\n\nArticle II, section 1, clause 6 of the Constitution, the ''Succession Clause,'' specifies that in the event of simultaneous vacancies in the presidency and the vice presidency, or the simultaneous ''inability'' of those officers to act, Congress may by law specify what ''Officer'' shall ''act as President until the disability be removed or a President shall be elected.'' If a statutory successor is serving as acting President, Congress may, but is not required to, call a new presidential election.

Typically, as we are not in a declared state of war, the death penalty under Section A and Table A & C do not apply.  So death is nothing that he will be charged with.\n\nHowever, AWOL and desertion are 2 serious crimes under the UCMJ.  Because of this, his punishment can be as light as a reduction in rank, as otherwise stated here, but his reduction in rank would be followed by an immediate dishonorable discharge (which will scare himself and his family for many years to come), and perhaps imprisonment.\n\nPlacing him in prision, inside of a military prision is a likely possibility.  The prison term would be for the remainder of his Military commitment, as well as whatever the court deems fit.  Chances are he will be dishonorably discharged AFTER his term in prision.  He will still maintain whatever rank they give him, but will not be allowed to keep that rank once discharged.\n\nThe vast majority of AWOL simple cases are mitigated with an Article 15 (felony charge), reduction in rank, and/or transfer to a disciplinary school/remedial school for several months to almost a year.  \n\nComplex cases in which his AWOL caused damage to the US military, with respect to the mission, his job, his unit, his group, or his command can directly affect how severe the charges will be.\n\nChances are if he didn't do anything too severe you will see him again, and he will be kept in the military, not discharged and only reduced in rank and pay.\n\nBUT DEATH is no likely to be a charge because we are not in a declared state of war anymore.  A Declared state of ware is declared by congress, not the president, and any charges for desertion under this case is punishable by death; but as your roomate isn't considered under this case, it is not a likely charge.

Not if he's active duty.

If he is a reservist that is going on permanent active duty, then he may, but it depends on his rank and type of unit. The fact is, reservists are promoted at an accelerated pace compared to regular army soldiers, as a means of retention. At my reserve unit, there are about 3X as many sergeants as there are privates, which leads to issues of having NCOs with no responsibilities.\n\nDepending upon the unit, his MOS, and current rank, he may, but it isn't always the case. If he is looking to go to the RA, have him speak with his BC, who normally has some experience with sending soldiers to active duty.

Anyone appointed to office and approved by the Senate stays.\n\nBolton was not approved by the Senate. He serves as a recess appointment.

Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson stayed away from the address in case of a catastrophic attack or accident.\n\nBy long-standing tradition, a member of the president's Cabinet misses the speech to Congress as a precaution against the entire administration being wiped out and to maintain the presidential line of succession.

If you genuinely can't hack the AIT for the MOS you've selected, I believe you get to reclass for something that may be more your speed.  Otherwise, you get recycled to the next Co. coming through.  At least that's what happened in my unit.  I've actually never heard of anyone getting put out of the Army altogether.

This is completely up to your commander of your Reserve unit.  Unfortunatly some Reserve units are so undermanned right now that they won't let anyone go active duty.  It's kind of sad.  \n  If this does end up happening to you one of the best things to do is to take you request up the reserve chain of command.  First go to your Batallin HQ, and from there to Brigade.  \n  Be aware that once you do transfer you may loose rank.  I know of some E-5 sgts that were in the National guard that got bummped down to E-2 pvt when they went active duty.  Also your contract will be totally redone.  Hopefully your MOS will remain the same, but it is possible that they will want you to reclass. \n  It definatly isn't as easy as saying Well I want to go active duty for the duration of my contract so i'm just gonna go.  For the record this is somthing I looked into while I was an E-5 in the reserves.  I finally decided against it when they told me that I was gonna loose rank and be an E-4 again, and would HAVE to reclass and go through AIT again.

It should be held by someone who knows about defence and has the respect of his or her Department. The Secretary of Defence must have the President's confidence. It would be a conflict of interest for someone serving in the military to serve in the position in any case. He or she would have to leave the military.\n\nFor this reason statute law provides the secretary must be a civilian who has not served in the active component of the armed forces for at least 10 years (10 USC Sec. 113).

He might as well just stay where he is. He wont be able to get out completly with an honorable discharge. If he were to switch to another branch (very difficult to do, you should contact your local recruiting station) his time would restart and he would end up staying in the armed forces longer.

Yes.  But be sure you are not interested in any position that involves security clearance.  If you get married to a felon, it could limit your ability to move up the ranks since it might affect your ability to get approval to do some military tasks.

When faced with investigation or harassment, some service members are tempted to leave their units without permission. Going AWOL (Absence Without Leave), referred to in the Navy as UA (Unauthorized Absence), is a violation of Article 86 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). It is a serious matter that nearly always hurts service members more than it helps them.\nService members who go AWOL may face arrest and nearly always face punishment, including restriction, non-judicial punishment (NJP) and even court-martial. Going AWOL may increase a service member’s chance of getting an Other Than Honorable (OTH) discharge. It usually makes the discharge process go slower for those who want to get out of the military and can lead to confinement.\n\nService members who go AWOL sometimes miss a movement or deployment. “Missing movement” is a violation of Article 87 of the UCMJ. This is a serious offense that can result in court-martial or increase the chances of an Other Than Honorable discharge based on misconduct.

well yeah you can go through his chain of command. or on base it would be the mp.'s but they will just take him for the 72 hour cool down period in the barracks and he'll probably be mad when he comes home. or off base call local police.  then theres restraining orders.  but if he has a fukked up chain of command he'll get away with everything he does  like my ex husband.his whole chain of command lied for him and stuck up for him in court for the domestic violence incidents and hell now hes getting away with murder.
