My lawyer's response is to ask how instruments of commissions can be drawn that are inconsistent with an existing and valid warrant, without first cancelling the warrant.

My cynic's response (and in the vein of extracting da urina) is to note that on your facts, the successors of President Merkin Muffley, GEN. 'Buck' Turgidson, BRIG Jack D. Ripper, COL 'Bat' Guano and Dr Strangelove still loiter with intent around various higher US Headquarters. To quote the immortal words of MAJ T.J."King" Kong as he straddles the bomb: "Hee haugh!

Years ago, if memory serves me correctly, the Royal Navy commissioned senior sailors as subject expects in, for example, gunnery. They were called “Commissioned Gunners” etc and wore a thin stripe on their sleeves. To my knowledge, they were NOT warrant officers, but commissioned officers.

With the greatest of respect, it's either one or the other.
