I mean, we can't just have soldiers guarding nukes walk off their posts because of something that has never even been properly defined.

It is ok for the CIC who has his finger on the nuclear trigger, yet he has never been properly defined?

Hmmm. It's a fair question. But he is being held to the same standard that every person that held the office before him has been held in that regard. In large part, I believe any argument that went before the Supreme Court would rest on the fact that he was elected. Rightly or wrongly, that is how the left would argue it. They would say his legitimacy derives from the American people themselves.

I believe the Constitution must be obeyed. But whether I like it or not, it was the American people who put the man in office. Until the issue gets decided one way or the other, the man does have his finger on the button. That is the situation.

Whether I think it's wrong or not isn't going to change that.
