There's no evidence that Obama proved his eligibility to any of these entities. Signing a form to get on a ballot doesn't prove eligibility. Lakin noticed the oversight and is trying to protect the Constitution. Wish we could say the same for the 50 secretraries of state (or 57 secretaries of state in Obama's mind).
Who doesn't have a role to play, here? The US military, that's who. It's not the role of the US military to inspect the Commander-in-Chief for constitutional infirmities.
How exactly do they defend the Constitution by standing down to a fraud??
This alleged fraud is a civilian crime. The military doesn't investigate, prosecute civilian crimes, nor does it enforce civilian law on civilians.
If Obama has committed fraud, then this is something for the Congress to sort out, not the US Armed Forces. That's what my copy of the Constitution say, anyways.
To be honest, that is a minefield. Imagine if the Military refused to take orders because Bush was “Selected not Elected”.
However ..... in this case, the Military should allow discovery to clear the air. Its just a BC and some college records. We all know Obama to be honest and intelligent, so there should be nothing to fear about discovery. He has also stated that he wants transparency, so this is a good thing.
How exactly do they defend the Constitution by standing down to a fraud??
It is the duty of US Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution and they have already refused to hear any of six Obama eligibility lawsuits that have reached them for Justices’ Writ of Certiorari conferences.
And several state courts have rejected challenges to the validity of Obama’s Electoral votes.
