Even if Obama is not legally President, that doesn’t necessarily defeat the legal authority of commissioned officers. Even if Barack Hussein Obama’s entire Presidency is declared void, that just means Joseph Robinette Biden has been acting President since 20 January, 2009, pursuant to Section 3 of the 20th Amendment, and that commissioned officers are his agents.
That’s true; however, all signatures, orders and guidance have not been coming from Biden as CinC...they’ve been signed by Obama. That doesn’t mean that commissioned officers don’t have authority, but merely that they’ve been acting under orders of questionable legitimacy...that’s the issue in question, and the matter on which this LTC is seeking clarification...which is his duty.
If Barry isn't a legal President, by definition he can not give legal orders.
The Nurember trials demonstrated that a defense of "I was only following orders" will not protect you. If the officer knowingly follows illegal orders, he sets himself up for war crimes charges not only in the U.S., but also internationally. It's in his best interest, and his duty, to know that he's following legal orders.
I, wonder, how someone born a subject to the crown of her majesty the Queen of England could be considered a Natural Born Citizen of the U.S.
