Can’t. All the patriotic generals and admirals have already been removed. Obama is coup-proof now.
You figured that out, too.

Communication with potential cooperating and subordinate units.
A plan which requires MINIMAL violence to effectively remove current leadership from a position of command. This may be as simple as cutting off their communication,
