[GAB-1955]

To take part in a political move would violate military professional ethics. As I noted in a previous post, there is always a constitutional President. In this case, it would be the current Vice-President, Biden.

Besides, who would the military call on to remove the President? Do you want to know how many formed units are in the D.C. area under Federal control and can move instantly?
Not many.

We can't and shouldn't remove Obama from office by force majeure. We have to do it constitutionally. Either he resigns, is impeached, or is found ineligible to be President by a competent tribunal. No other way is acceptable and the Republic would dissolve into civil war.

We have to do it constitutionally. Either he resigns, is impeached, or is found ineligible to be President by a competent tribunal.

And if he is impeached, (not going to happen of course, even if he rapes an intern on the South Lawn), or found ineligible by the Supreme Court, and refuses to vacate the office. Then what? Must the military continue to follow his orders? Must the Secret Service, or the Federal Marshals? All take the same oath to the Constitution. What should they do in that circumstance?
