The key defense attorney for an Army officer being put on trial for refusing orders he views as suspect because of the possibility Barack Obama is not eligible to be commander-in-chief is demanding documentation from the president.
On the G. Gordon Liddy radio show today, Paul Rolf Jensen said the request for "discovery" in the Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin case – the access by the defense to documentation in the government's possession that could help its case – is being submitted.
Jensen had been asked whether there is a legal basis for denying a defendant on trial on criminal charges legitimate access to documentation that would prove his case.
"We are today officially requesting that discovery," Jensen said. "If the government refuses to give it to us, then we will, a week from today, file a motion to compel discovery.
"I can't think of a single reason why the judge would take the government's position," he said.
The controversy stems from the Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, which states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."
A number of challenges and lawsuits have been based on the constitutional requirement, some alleging Obama does not qualify because he was not born in Hawaii in 1961 as he claims. Others say he fails to qualify because he was a dual citizen of the U.S. and the United Kingdom when he was born, and the framers of the Constitution specifically excluded dual citizens from eligibility.

Fraid so.
He said with past presidents, if you had a bc and anyone demanded something like that, you put it out the door immediately. He could not understand why Obama would hold it back if he did have one.
Obama is different, but holding back the BC to screw with half the population that he must govern is very odd... unless it disqualifies him.
If we look at this behavior in its entirety, it is obvious he's got a problem. He has stated in his book that he has a BC, yet refuses to show it. We have a problem, and this Judge better know whats in the files before she sends Lakin to Jail. If a year from now Obama is prohibited to be on ballots because he wont show his BC and Lakin is in jail, Lakin will have more grounds to sue.

So help me God.”
Hey Greenhorne, the above is the Oath of Enlistment not the Commissioned Officers’ Oath. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Google: “US Military Officers’ Commissioning Oath.”
“But Obama can impersonate the highest official position in the united states illegitimately, and everyone demanding to see his badge goes to jail.”
Nice one. Obambi is impersonating Commander in Chief, a US Army office. Charge him. Is it Levenworth?
