It not that I don't accept that it happened. It's that it didn't happen. I'll ask you again when and where and to whom did Obama prove his qualifications? What would you have the military do in the hypothetical I presented?

Not proposing a coup. I would have the joint chiefs approach the president and present the issue. If the president or the congress after that did not react in accordance with the constitutional question, all of them should resign, as the next level should do and so on until a legitimate answer is provided. Upon resigning I would provide a public statement supporting the junior officers who made the challenge and calling for the president to resign or step up.

Who does the law require him to prove anything to? And what should that proof be?

Congress seems satisfied.

The USSC seems satisfied.

For that matter the entire judiciary seems satisfied.

The Electoral College seemed satisfied.

The conservative think tanks seem satisfied.

The GOP seems satisfied.

MCain and Palin seemed satisfied.

All of BHO’s opponents in the Dem primary seemed satisfied.

The vast bulk of the Military seems satisfied.

The GOP AG and governor of Hawaii seem satisfied.

VP Cheney seemed satisfied.

GWB seemed satisfied.

Any district attorney or state attorney general in the US could subpoena the desired records, but they do not. They seem satisfied.

But a small number of people who don’t seem to appreciate what they are asking, or accept the facts as they stand want to use the military as a tool for another fishing expedition.

Yeah. A real strong basis there.

“I would have the joint chiefs approach the president and present the issue.”

Maybe they did this last Tuesday. And came away satisfied.

What some folks don’t seem to grasp is that getting a “legitimate answer” doesn’t mean that it will be the answer they happen to want.
