Unless and until proven otherwise, he IS their Commander in Chief. Having our military remove him from office based on our supposition that he doesn’t 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.

At this point, it should be the duty of the courts to demand production of a certified long form birth certificate, if only in camera, with representatives of both sides of the litigation that’s pending able to view and verify its authenticity.

If you consider what happened in Honduras, the military acted only after the highest court in their land ordered the president’s removal. They were acting lawfully. What you are suggesting is not lawful at the moment.

Many conservatives (according to posts that I see here) seem to think we are a banana republic...
