I am only asking the military to act homorably and to ensure that the constitution is behind their orders to prosecute a wsar. If you think that the government elected officials have carried out their duty on this issue, I believe you to be sadly misinformed.

The military is not the basic arbiter, since the government officials and responsible parties were grossly negligent in carrying out their cosntitutional duties and since we may have a terrible fraud going on, a soldier with honor can do no less than ask the question and the superior officers with honor would respond by getting an answer to the challenge. If you think Obama is acting honorably and without guilty behavior, then there is nothing else to discuss.

It still boggles the mind how folks can imagine that wanting the military to take extra-Constitutional action because they don’t agree with the decisions the civilian government made is somehow a patriotic defense of the Constitution.

Has it occurred to you that no matter what the civilian government does, there will be some group somewhere that doesn’t like it and doesn’t think it is right, proper, or Constitutional?

Do want the military to step in for them too?
What about those who think the military taking those actions are unconstitutional? What redress to you propose for them?

“I am only asking the military to act homorably and to ensure that the constitution is behind their orders to prosecute a wsar. If you think that the government elected officials have carried out their duty on this issue, I believe you to be sadly misinformed.”

I didn't demand the military validate that President Johnson had the constitution behind his orders to prosecute a war. So I suppose I and all the men who bled with me were behaving dishonorably, huh? Or maybe we simply understood the proper roles of civilian authority and the military vis-a-vis the Constitution.

“The military is not the basic arbiter, since the government officials and responsible parties were grossly negligent in carrying out their cosntitutional duties and since we may have a terrible fraud going on, a soldier with honor can do no less than ask the question and the superior officers with honor would respond by getting an answer to the challenge.”

You simply don't like the decision your elected representative made. It doesn't pass personal muster with you, so forget the Constitution. You want a military coup. Well, fortunately, there are enough real patriots in this country that you're not going to get it. And because of them , this country will still be standing after Obama is legitimately gone.

“If you think Obama is acting honorably and without guilty behavior, then there is nothing else to discuss.”

As Non-Sequitur has said, that is irrelevant to the legal question at hand. But obviously, people who want the military to decide who can be President have no interest in legality.
