Though the President is the Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, he is a Civilian Government leader, and as such, is not authorized to wear a military uniform in that office. Only Active Duty military and Veterans under certain circumstances are allowed to wear military uniforms.
There are however, Flag officers who are sometimes appointed to civilian government positions, and though they are authorized to wear them, they typically wear civilian clothes rather than their military uniforms. They are authorized in those cases to wear that attire in those positions. One example is former Army General Colin Powell, who, while still an active General, was appointed as National Security Advisor by President Reagan.
