"The military has a role in defending the Constitution, which in this case, is threatened by undocumented eligibility. There's no reason the military can't take an active role in ensuring a legitimate chain of command."

...has been the mantra of every South American banana republic the last 100 years. This is PRECISELY why we see so many military coups in that continent. The military is always poking around in "constitutional matters". That's not the way it works in this country. The institutional memory and teaching of the US Armed Forces is clear - civilian command is paramount, always.

Obama is the President. Any constitutional infirmity in either his election or installation, is not the concern of the military.

As someone else pointed out, using your logic, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs could have disobeyed Bush's first order in 2001, and argued that he wasn't elected, but selected and therefor unconstitutional. Do you see the slippery sloap and why this is avoided in by military command?

What??????? What the hell does South America have to do with OUR Constitution??

Nonsense. Obama's fraud is and Constitutional infirmity is everybody's problem in this country ... especially the military. Somebody has to stand up before we become a 'banana republic.'

As someone else pointed out, using your logic, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs could have disobeyed Bush's first order in 2001, and argued that he wasn't elected, but selected and therefor unconstitutional.

Which can be quickly proven wrong with a paper trail. No such paper trail exists for Obama.

Slippery 'sloap'? That slope is much more slippery from tolerating fraud.
