Quote:
By the Articles of War, Congress has provided rules for the government of the Army. It has provided for the trial and punishment, by courts martial, of violations of the Articles by members of the armed forces and by specified classes of persons associated or serving with the Army. But the Articles also recognize the 'military commission' appointed by military command as an appropriate tribunal for the trial and punishment of offenses against the law of war not ordinarily tried by court martial.

I think this section is pretty key. The idea is that Congress gives the President the authority to conduct trials by tribual. In our case however, I'm not sure if this is the case. I'm not a lawyer.
