this is an interesting approach that I have not seen. I wish you well in your effort.
Good One!!!!
Wow! Excellent, BP2. This is exactly the subject of a conversation I’ve been having with a family member who is a veteran. We all agreed that if anyone has “standing” in this issue it should be those serving in our military.
BUMP!
GOOOOO, guys, GO!!! Spread the word.
Excellent! Thank you for posting!
It is good to know that when every other part of the government fails the Constitution, one can always depend upon the armed forces. Go get them -—
What's the big deal about someone from the "ruling class" showing his birth certificate? We little people do thousands of times every day.
If modern America's Man on Horseback is out there, Get on the damn horse already!
Impeachment. The Democratic controlled congress wouldn’t do it, but if this message resonantes, the midterm election could be a landslide based on getting congressmen and Senators who will remove the ineligible one.
Wonderful!
The SCOTUS is going to finese it????? How gut less and treasoness, BTW.
Palestine? Where’s that? The only Calvary I know is in Jerusalem, Israel.
Only a Reserve Officer would be in a safe position to challenge P.E. Obama’s status. Any regular military officer promoted to Major or higher must be approved by congress. Only full Colonels of the reserve require congressional approval.
So, if a regular officer of the rank of Captain was to challenge P.E. Obama, he/she has destroyed any chance to ever be promoted again. Their appointment won’t get past congress. Therefore, only lower ranking (Major and below) officers of the reserve would be safe to pursue this course. And even then they probably would be sabotaging a career. Only those that are as high as they can go in rank, and already eligible for retirement, would be safe to pursue a legal challenge of the P.E.
It would and have to be an individual or group with standing (many reserve officers). The Reserve Officer’s Association ROA won’t touch this because it would kill any lobby ability they might have and would invite retaliation by the P.E. and congress.
Conclusion...it is a great idea, but only for the bravest of heart.
The same.
Palestine is a name which has been widely used since Roman times to refer to the region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.[1] In its broader meaning as a geographical term, Palestine can refer to an area that includes contemporary Israel and the Palestinian territories, parts of Jordan, and parts of Lebanon and Syria.[1][2] In its narrow meaning, it refers to the area within the boundaries of the former British Mandate of Palestine (1920-1948) west of the Jordan River.[Wikipedia]
PS - Unfortunately many officers Regular & Reserve back P.E. Obama. That is another reason the ROA won’t act....it would cause a split in their organization.
Excellent effort. You have to take a stand. Ignore the naysayers. The outcome does not matter. What you do when faced with a bold attack on the Constitution does.
