“Being a former Marine he realizes the importance of having a Constitutionally qualified POTUS/CINC.”

THIS is the important part, folks...

An Officer’s oath is to the CONSTITUTION, not to the President.

An unlawful leader cannot give a lawful order. And the Nurenburg trials set precedent in that an Officer can be held personally liable for following unlawful orders.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the Clinton’s didn’t come forth to “help” set the record straight. Of course, it would need to be in their best interest to do so....
