The President is a civilian, not a professional soldier. His job is to insure that the will of Congress (the one who make declarations of war), and the policies of the duly elected representatives of the people are carried out, and that the professional soldiers don't start setting their own policies.

No-- that's not his job.

He has generals, sec. def and others to do the actual work.
