DECORATED ARMY PHYSICIAN REFUSES ALL MILITARY ORDERS BECAUSE PRESIDENT REFUSES TO DOCUMENT HIS CONSTITUTIONAL ELIGIBILITY
Court Martial Likely, Legal Defense Fund Established
Washington, D.C., March 30, 2010. “I am today compelled to make the distasteful choice to invite my own court martial, in pursuit of the truth about the president’s eligibility under the constitution to hold office”, said active duty Army Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin. The American Patriot Foundation, a non-profit group incorporated in 2003 to foster appreciation and respect for the U.S. Constitution, immediately announced it has set up a legal defense fund and will provide Lt. Col. Lakin with a top-flight defense team. Details are available on the foundation’s website, www.safeguardourconstitution.com.
Article II, sec. 1 of the U. S. Constitution explicitly provides that only “natural born” citizens can serve as president and commander-in-chief. Mr. Obama’s continuing refusal to release his original 1961 birth certificate has brought Lt. Col. Lakin to the point where he feels his orders are unlawful, and thus MUST be disobeyed.
Lakin has today informed his superiors that he cannot understand how his oath of office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution” does not permit military officers to pursue proof of eligibility from his commander-in-chief. Lt. Col. Lakin’s efforts to seek affirmation of the president’s eligibility have been rebuffed with legal evasions. Given the Obama Administration’s “transparency” initiative, many U.S. citizens are also demanding release of the original birth certificate.
Lakin serves as Chief of Primary Care and Flight Surgeon for the DiLorenzo TRICARE Health Clinic and is lead Flight Surgeon charged with caring for Army Chief of Staff General Casey’s pilots and air crew. His numerous awards and decorations include the Army Flight Surgeon’s Badge, Combat Medical Badge, the Bronze Star Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, the Army Achievement Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, the National Defense Service Medal with Bronze Service Star, the Armed Forced Expedition Medal, the Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, the Overseas Service Ribbon and the NATO service medal.
Look for an invluntary discharge which will remove this officer’s “standing” to sue.
LTC (P) Lakin is a true patriot.
And is a fine officer as well.
So if they just separate him from duty without a court martial will he give back all the defense fund?
Welcome to FR APF, be prepared for some ridicule and mockery from FReepers who prefer to look the other way and give the Dear Comrade a pass on his unproven eligibility to serve as POTUS.
For my money, the Kenyan Usurper has spent upwards of a million bucks on legal fees to prevent any disclosure of the details of his origins, educational history, travel history, passport data, social security number(s), when all he needs to do is produce a $12 long form original birth certificate.
My tagline says it all, and good luck to you and Colonel Lakin.
He doesn't have standing now. Discharge won't change that.
Here we go again...I believe the truth, whatever it is, will not come out for years to come.
USA loses. I lose and my children and grandchildren lose too.
Does anything prevent the army from simply discharging him?
Love your tagline, mkjessup.
It just infuriates me, birther that I am. Why don’t the drones see him for what he is? a lying, phony, deceitful SOB.
Can you tell me how to add a tagline? I can’t figure it out.
You can add a tagline when you post a comment. It is below the main body of your post.
Hope he stays healthy.
I will pray that this man is successful.
I think you have put the horse before the cart. First let him sue, make a case, whip up the media ruckus, then the fund.
I was just about to ping you on this.
Gutsy move.
This case, just like all the others, will quietly go away.
IMHO, about the only shot "birthers" (and I use that in a descriptive, not a derogatory manner) have is for the 2012 elections, where candidates will *NEED* to provide the long form BC by law in various states. Until then, the president has been sworn in and arguing about it is futile. Even if there *is* standing for a case, it'll never get heard. The ramifications are just too drastic.
IMHO - I figure that there's something on the BC that's politically damaging, rather than illegal. Really, does anyone think that the people who voted for BO *care* if a piece of the Constitution was circumvented? Or if there's an obscure citizenship law in HI that provides BC's for people born out of country?
Nah, it has to be something simple, that would really sink BO's boat. Something like listing him as "Caucasian", or that his Dad wasn't who he said it was, or something.
Stuff that the room-temp-IQ voters that support him will understand. And care about. And, it has to be explained in a dozen one-syllable words, or less.
God Bless Lt. Col. Lakin.
Barack Obama was born with duel-citezenship. His father was a British national by way of his Kenyan birth. This means that Barack Obama is ineligable to be POTUS.
what happens now??? How much time could he do in the brig for refusing to follow orders?
Article II, sec. 1 of the U. S. Constitution explicitly provides that only “natural born” citizens can serve as president and commander-in-chief. Mr. Obama’s continuing refusal to release his original 1961 birth certificate has brought Lt. Col. Lakin to the point where he feels his orders are unlawful, and thus MUST be disobeyed.
We have been here, and done that. For purposes of litigation, it is pointless to mix the apple of the legitimate questions about the place of Obama's birth, with the orange of Natural Born Citizenship. Yes, yes. Success with either one would be the "big win," and the issues are related.
But if you want a Birth Certificate, you belong in Hawaiian Courts. If you want to challenge his eligibility because he is not a Natural Born Citizen, which with a foreign father he most certainly is not, you have to be in Federal District Court in Washington, D.C.
Of course, both can be done. Just not lumped together in one pleading in the same court. Who's the Colonel's lawyer? Anyone know yet?
