I'll be honest and admit they are trapped between a rock and a hard place. They must fear a period of chaos if Obama is proved ineligible as POTUS.
I agree. Sometimes people post stuff like “But Biden the idiot would be president” or “imagine Pelosi - she’s even worse” etc.
But they’d all be neutered at best, in severe legal hot water as well. They’d be no more.
Ah, now I see what you goons are so worried about ...
The Tea Party movement has gained a foothold in the armed forces ...
Don't worry ... "Global Warming denial" started small, too. Now, it's mainstream. Furthermore and I hate to burst your bubble your OBVIOUS and feeble attempts in INTIMIDATING others who might follow Lt Col Lakin’s lead is yet another of Obama's (and YOUR's) ...

This would force the generals to expose themselves to publicity the likes of which they do not ever want to see. It might be the match that sparks the Pentagon to prove that the Commander in Chief is/is not a usurper.
The generals are trying to ride out the tempest without risking their careers. This just might be the way to force them out.
I realize that there are those who truly believe that obama is lawfully the president. I say let them prove it through this case.
I realize that the uniformed services are loathe to enter the political arena for good reasons. But the generals took the same oath to the Constitution that I, as an officer took. Let them stand with the constitution! I'm happy to contribute to two defense funds.
Not all are as nuts as you.
Do we have any evidence that he exercized his foreign citizenship rights in either of those countries before becoming POTUS? (Set aside the passport issues for now.)
Has Obama taken any action when visiting either of those countries that would indicate he is behaving as anything other than American citizen?"
Good questions. I'm sure nobody here could answer those one way or another, definitively. Yet MORE unanswered questions surrounding the guy.
Although, on the flip side, if one does not exercise certain rights as a citizen...does that mean the are not a citizen?
He’ll get the McDougal treatment.
That's a huge insult to some very dedicated researchers here who have uncovered some extraordinary history vis a vie the NBC issue...historical facts that you evidently have no clue about.
Go spend some time on this thread and learn something before you make a bigger fool of your self than you just did..

With airframe attrition, that is a free gift to America’s enemies.
The guy won’t even stand near an F-22 in a public appearance, it has to be a 30-year old F-15.
I don’t even want to go near his promise to take “ICBM’s off hair trigger alert” stuff.
That thesis of his, I would put a bet on it proposing unilateral nuclear disarmament.
Well said!
Don’t forget Oath Keepers. Someone freepmailed me something from IIRC DU. They’re a bit freaked over there about it.
If he doesn't then he will have to be really involved and control the trial every second. Of course Rahm, Axelrod or Gibbs will be the middle men. His most trusted thugs. Obama doc's will be requested.
If he is setup and sentenced without evidence, all hades will break loose.
> Not all are as nuts as you.
Funny.
Your side said the same thing about Lewinski’s Blue Dress.
Then, when Bill Clinton’s LIE was exposed, the counter-argument
changed to “it’s a private matter.”
Good luck with that THIS TIME. LOL
Excellent summation
As was his intention.

I agree. He’s a fraud only in terms of anyone who thought he was pro-American. He never advertised himself like that - except the sheep were more caught up in electing someone black that ever questioning his background.
However, when certain things were brought up - he did deny i.e., the messages given at his ‘G-D damn America and hate whitey’ church.
“They (whitey) acted stupidly” w/o knowing any facts. Despite his 20 yr attendance he claims he never heard those messages. Along w/his commie friend/advisor, ‘he’s just a neighbor’. So when confronted - he did deny - there was deception. So he is a fraud and busy damning America.
Pure B.S.
Section three of the Twentieth amendment reads as follows:
"3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
The term "if the President elect shall have failed to qualify" is describing an action of "the president elect", not that of someone who might be challenging his qualification. This CLEARLY places the burden of "qualifying" upon the President elect. Since it is Congress who is instructed to act upon whether or not a "qualification" has been met, this "qualification" must be made to Congress. My congressman has the legal standing to demand that this proof of qualification be presented or the "President elect" cannot be President. Inaction by my congressman in this matter does not remove the WRITTEN REQUIREMENT of section three of the Twentieth amendment.
In fact, inaction by Congress in this instance is breaking their oath of office to "support this Constitution" from Article six.
The text of Article two, Section one CLEARLY states:
" No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President"
This means that any President elect who has "failed to qualify" cannot be President. Period. Just because Congress has not upheld it's oath of office to verify qualifications doesn't make someone ineligible to be President a legal President. If Obama has "qualified", my congressman has the standing to demand to see his proof. If he has not "qualified", then he isn't really President at all but a usurper.
Could be but I must ask, what do you believe "my view" is?
