"Hmm, then why did they make us swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution?"

"I, _____, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United StatesB/U> and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

Does anybody recognize the subtle difference between the Oath of Enlistment and the Oath of Office administered to a Commissioned Officer in the U.S. military?

The Oath of Office administered to a Commissioned Officer DOES NOT include: “I will obey the orders of the President of the United States.”

It is the prime duty that Commissioned Officers “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC and bear true faith and allegiance to the same....”

After Obama is sworn in, I’d like some young Marine Officer with intestinal fortitude to tell Obama to “go pound sand!” as we used to say.

My take: if and when Obama takes the Oath of Office he will perjure himself thereby nullifying any other directive, order or law he may so prescribe or sign.

Oh, and by the way, he cannot be IMPEACHED: He’s not the President. He’ll simply have to be asked to remove himself from the Oval Office. Good Luck Joe Biden!
