Why don't he Joint Chiefs go to Obama and say "Sir, you must either present a valid full form birth certificate, step down, or we will remove you from office by force."
Isn't it their duty to do something like that? Isn't their accepting orders from Obama potentially carrying out illegal orders?
I didn’t say it. I worry about people who want the blood of patriots to water the Tree of Liberty. They never volunteer their blood.
You said — Unless and until proven otherwise, he IS their Commander in Chief. Having our military remove him from office based on our supposition that he doesnt meet the natural born requirement of the Constitution would be a colossal disaster, if not treason. The Joint Chiefs would never abuse their power in that way. This is not a banana republic.

Many conservatives (according to posts that I see here) seem to think we are a banana republic...
You are talking about logic. He never demonstrated that he met the constitutional requirements. Until he does, we must conclude that he does not. To do otherwise is illogical, dangerous, and risks supporting what may the largest fraud ever perpetrated on the US. If I’m wrong, I’m a fool. If you’re wrong, the entire country is in the hands of a usurper.
Yeah, I know you didn’t say it, you were the “pingee”... :-)
And yes, you’re right... about volunteering their blood. And then, again, on the other hand, there are a lot of “loud mouths” too... (seemingly ready to do so...), but I have a sneaking suspicion that if bullets began flying (especially if they were from military tanks and soldiers and *against* them) that they would be running the other direction as fast as they could...
That would really be a “bitch” to think you’ve got a military coup going, only to find out that the military is after you... LOL...

The trouble with that is that we’ve now got to conclude Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and so on..., are/were not qualified — because none of them had produced their birth certificates when running for office, either... LOL...
lol - Thank you.
It's been tried. The courts say "No Standing" and "don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out".
true...
You really are a troll.
It better be one big azz rabbit. Usurper of the Oval office about as big as you can get.
Think again.

A conclusion reached after examining carefully the following Free Republic definition of a troll...
Anyone who disagrees with me is a troll
LOL...
The OTHER part of my post suggested that a federal court should require production of the birth certificate, in camera, with representatives of both sides present with experts able to verify its authenticity. That would close the question once and for all. Spending a million dollars to keep it under wraps does nothing to end the controversy.
The court could enforce a very stringent gag order of the parties who would view the bc. I.e., the parties and experts could merely view it, and verify its authenticity. There would be no information revealed about the parents’ marital status, the father listed on the cert, none of that information. It could be done in HI at the place where such records are archived and protected.
The court could then issue an opinion, and let the public know if it is or is not an authentic certificate of birth in HI. Very simple, really.
True, but under our Constitution, which every military officer swears to support and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic the Constitution. That Constitution declares:
"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;"
Art. II Sec. 1.
That oath, although not it's exact form is also required by the Constitution.
"all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution"
Art. VI.
No, any Obama apologist is a troll.
Major Cook tried to do it the right way.
Unfortunate that Obama slicked his way out of it again, but I cant help but believe more officers will come forward.

Well..., what I’m suspecting here, is that the leftists really don’t want to end the controversy and figure that they’re getting more political mileage out of this whole issue than they would if they ended it...
That seems to be the goal here, especially with the large volume of articles by the leftists about the birth certificate issue. They seem to be happy to paint conservatives who are hammering away on this issue as kooks and nuts and so on. And also, they seem to want to paint other conservatives (even those who are not taking up this issue) in the same light — which seems to be an attempt at marginalizing all conservatives...
I think it’s a ploy by the leftists, actually...
