Funny you should bring this up. In the nineties, President Clinton attempted to do just that! Under Presidential Directive No. 25, he tried to place U.S. Troops directly under foreign field commanders at the direct wishes of the U.N. It was our command staff that informed him of the unconstitutionality of such a move. Just another attempt by this former president to subvert any accountability.
