Has that ever happened, to your knowledge? I've never heard of that but I don't know very much about military law.
I don't have time to do a search right now, but no, I can't think of any cases where it has happened. There are so many layers of command with convening authority that I don't see it ever happening.

I can't find anything but the civil war, perhaps, would be my guess. Just curious really.

Talking POTUS intervening in Court Martial proceeding? Never heard of anything like that. Closest thing I heard is the GO officer dropping all charges for lack "evidence" on a Field Grade (Questionable as all Hell). There's a press for Congress to remove "Command Authority" or something from Proceeding's

The only reason I could think of for the President to act as the convening authority on a court martial would be to charge a General Officer directly below him on the chain of command, or maybe a General Officer below that if the General in between was unable or unwilling to be the convening authority for whatever reason.

Which means the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs or one of the service chiefs.
