Are those goalposts heavy, 'bro?
I just showed you that Congress wrote the UCMJ.
That is how Congress sets policy for the military.

And I showed how Harry Truman integrated the armed forces by executive order, and how Bill Clinton instituted DADT by executive order.
Why can't Barack Obama allow gays to serve openly by executive order?

Basically because he's trying to follow the actual process of legislation in this country.

But it might come to an executive order.

Total BS. He would be well within his Constitutional authority to simply issue an executive order.

So Harry Truman and Bill Clinton did not "follow the actual process of legislation" (whatever that means)??

Anyone? Bueller?
