Commander-in-chief?
Do we know President Roslin is Commander-in-chief of the Colonial forces? Just because the U.S. President is C-in-C of American forces doesn't mean every president has the same role. For example, the EU president has no command authority over the European Rapid Reaction Force even though that is (or will be) an EU-wide military entity, not a single-country force.
Yes, Roslin gave Bill Adama his Admiral insignia. That doesn't mean anything except Roslin (and perhaps the Council of 12) are following military tradition; not that Roslin has any military authority on her own.
I may have missed one or two episodes, and you try searching for "commander-in-chief" if you think I'm being lazy.
