Army threatens officer questioning eligibility

The Army is threatening to dismiss and jail an active-duty lieutenant colonel who says he won't obey military orders until he knows that President Obama is in the Oval Office as a constitutionally eligible president, according to his supporters.

A statement given to WND today by Margaret Hemenway, who is acting as a spokeswoman for the case involving the American Patriot Foundation and Army Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, said Lakin is "undaunted" and has not changed his position.

Lakin announced his position with a video stating he would not follow orders because he was not sure of their legality under Obama, who has concealed personal information that could confirm he meets the constitutional requirement that a president be a "natural born citizen."

Barry’s “generals” are running the military now.

“The Army is threatening to dismiss and jail an active-duty lieutenant colonel”
We MUST support this brave warrior! He is asking a legitimate question for all who serve, and all who are subject to the laws that this Usurper signs!
Say Prayers, send support, and hope that more Officers join him in his quest for clarification of The Usurper’s qualifications to be Commander-In-Chief!
Opportunity to oppose may be a fleeting event. Checkout the history of the Communist takeover of Russia - there was a short time period of opportunity for legitimate power to question the takeover, once missed, their was no second opportunity!

I hate to say this, but it might have to come to an officer being jailed and court marshaled in order to get this into a court room.

The military is NOT going to want to handle this nuclear potato. It would look like a coup if a military court found the man innocent because Obama isn’t an NBC.

raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America's vigilant citizenry

So we don't need no stinkin' laws and judges then, do we?

I wonder what the judge would say if the vigilant citizenry changed its mind and decided obama was not eligible. Would he go along with them in suggesting obama leave office?

It will be rather inconvenient for Obama to have the military start imprisoning its officers all because he refuses to release his birth certificate.

Haven’t there been other soldiers who’ve done this as well?

“The Army is threatening to dismiss and jail an active-duty lieutenant colonel”

Oh, Bravo Sierra. What’s happened is that he’s intentionally disobeyed an order, which subjects him to either nonjudicial punishment or trial by court martial, which is the ONLY way he’ll get “dismissed”, since dismissal can only be assessed by a court martial after a finding of guilt. Ditto jail. WND is screaming and overstating - again.

Colonel, USAFR

Just what we need jagusafr, another “opinion” from another military lawyer promoting the coverup and ignoring the Constitution!

WND covers that point with the letter to Lakin posted in the article if I'm reading it correctly.

"Failure to follow your reassignment and/or deployment orders may result in adverse action including court-martial," the officer was warned.

The document cited articles 86, 87 and 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice: being missing, disobeying an order and contempt).

"If found guilty … you could be sentenced to dismissal from the service … forefeiture of all pay and allowances; and confinement for a period of months or years in a military prison," the warning stated.

Per the document

QUOTE: “On 30 March 2010, this command became aware of your intentions to refuse to follow deployment orders. Your stated reason for refusal was your belief that the election of the President of the United States is invalid because you believe he is not ‘native born’.

Notice they state ‘native’ born and not a Natural born Citizen as required by the United States Constitution.
They are playing word games.

Yes they are. I was just going to post the same thing.

That’s because the military-industrial complex is controlled by the corporate-governmental complex of the globalist elite.

I know you are a USAF Reserve JAG officer. I have been telling people that this Colonel is entitled to do his defense based upon the POTUS’ ineligibility due to lacking NBC status. Thus, if they court-martial him, then the military judge will have to allow the original BC to be requested and presented, or any conviction would be tossed in review. Am I at all right about this???
