Are there any nations who have or have had in the past militaries that were were under the command of the legislature body? Besides the Roundheads of the English Civil War.
The US constitution specifically grants the power to declare war to the House of Representatives, so theoretically yes, but in practice not in this case.

No, the Constitution grants the power to make war to Congress, not just the House. And the power to raise and fund a military. The US Armed Forces are, however, commanded by the Executive Branch. So it is not entirely under Congress' control; most unlike what the OP is looking for.The US constitution specifically grants the power to declare war to the House of Representatives, so theoretically yes, but in practice not in this case.
