In a comment on Leo Donofrio’s stite Morgan Ward published that what probably will proof the most effective way to getting the Usurper out of The Whitehouse. During a great show on Plains Radio Network , co-hosted by Wish, he further expanded on the concept convincing many of us, and myself in particular, of the effectiveness his approach. In the coming day’s this blog will further update you on details and developments.

Leo,
I am a retired US Army SFC. Few people in the military are familiar with an article 138 Investigation of the UCMJ. While on active duty, at one time I felt I was wronged by my Commanding Officer so I researched the UCMJ and found this.
I filed an Article 138 Investigation upon my commander and had never witnessed such a “hot potato”. I brought my Field Artillery Battalion to a standstill for 2 days while the commander researched what to do, and how to handle my complaint.
To make a long story short, I was given exactly what my request of redress was , which was a written appology and an Oral appology in front of 500 fellow officers and soldiers. The beauty is that the soldier filing the complaint or grievance, MUST be given a final disposition, so it will eventually reach the Secretary of the particular branch of service in which it is filed. In my case it would have been the Secretary of the Army. Another great aspect is it will and cannot harm the career of the individual filing it.
So , a soldier files a written complaint and states in words to the effect:

Mr. Ward on the blog is passing this idea to Leo Donofrio. There are some very interesting comments in the blog about General Petraeus and Orly plus a follow up comment by Mr. ward.
I dunno about this.
Remember the guy who refused to serve wearing a NATO patch because it was against regs to wear “foreign insignia”?
I don’t think he got far or did well after that.
His name and exact circumstance escapes me.

How important to Americans is this issue that it is not worth the sacrifice of many?
I think it would be easier to find a new career than a new free country.
“”His name and exact circumstance escapes me.””
Michael New. The last I heard he was still fighting in court. Over the years I have received solicitations for fund raising to help him out. I’ll check it out for current update on his case.
Michael New.
Discharged.
Dishnorably? I can’t remember.
Yep.
He didn’t get far at all.
I think he’s still fighting this in the courts.
IOW: you can't use it for the CinC.
That was Specialist Michael New
Will read again later.
Michael New was brought court martialed on charges because he refused order(s) from his chain of command.
This is totally different from filing a civilian law suit against Obama on Constitutional grounds initiated by a service member.
Unfortunately, the POTUS is not subject to the UCMJ, even though he is CinC. So, an Article 138 investigation would not apply to him.
The Commander-in-Chief most assuredly DOES have General Courts-Martial convening authority!
I like your thinking unfortunately it can’t be applied to the President as he is not subject to the UCMJ.
I refer you to http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm#SUB%20CHAPTER%201.%20GENERAL%20PROVISIONS specificaly Sect. 802 Art. 2.
Nice try though.
