(135,425 posts)A law requires passage by a legislature and is signed into law by a chief executive. The law that kept gays from serving was the UCMJ, which was approved by Congress and signed by the Commander in Chief (at the time, the version that was operative was signed by Truman).
If you recall, the legislature wasn't very nice to Bill Clinton during much of his tenure. His relationship with them was often very adversarial.
For that reason, he worked this issue directly with his SECDEF and senior military leadership. The Congress wasn't ready to approve lifting the ban; the best compromise available was Don't Ask/Don't Tell/Don't Pursue.
The rest of your post is just rambling and gossipy. You have something you're insinuating (with a single quote mark) is from Elizabeth Warren, without attribution, along with passive and unattributed comments about what H. Clinton "is known" to have had/done.
It's apparent you are not speaking from a place free of bias, and your dislike for the former SECSTATE is apparent.
