I'm not a lawyer or constitutional expert, but, yes, I believe that even the lowest ranked military person does have standing. And this is the scenario I see happening: The joint chiefs of staff come to Obama and tell him it's time to go. Without the force of the military to back him up, he has no power, once his legal claim has been dissolved. He is forced to address the American people and tell them the truth, and then he is escorted out of our White House.

The reason that the military has standing to remove him is as follows: Ever single order given to a military person is given, in effect, by the Commander in Chief. If that Commander is found to be not qualified to give that order, then no order given by any general to any subordinate is legitimate, and every action performed in this chain of command is therefore illegal. There is no pretext, no validation for their actions. They could be liable for God knows what, especially if it could be proven that they knew about the fraud and failed to act. It would be a horrible situation to be in--one I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Yes.

That is why the Army withdrew Major Cook's deployment order. Otherwise, he was in a position to bring the house of cards down.
