“Colonel Gordon Roberts.”

And does the good colonel have power to say,,invade Mexico if he alone pleases? Or, does he have the power do disobey a lawful order of a lawful president?
No and No.

So Roberts did not give that order, obama did. Roberts is nothing but a mere conduit for an order, originating with Obama. Claiming anything else is Sophistry, and is avoiding the real issue.

Across the board, a range of elected officials, soldiers, citizens, and voters have all challenged Obamas eligibility under the constitution.
Apparently, nobody, anywhere, has standing to be satisfied on this simple question. Whatever you think about the truth of the situation, don’t you find that odd that nobody can ever get standing to ask?

Do you believe a vipers nest of legal niceties is ultimately more important than testing whether the basic foundation of the constitution is being followed?

But he does have the authority to issue orders to the men and women under his command, and to have those orders obeyed. Lakin refused to do so. He offered nothing to show that Colonel Roberts' order was illegal. That was his choice.

I asked you earlier to state the legal foundation for your claim that the ineligibility of anyone in the chain of command makes all orders given by anyone in the chain of command illegal. I'm still waiting for you to do so.

How've they done so far?

That 'vipers nest of legal niceties' is also known as the law. And be it federal law or military law I'm not willing to ignore it just to get one man. If we do that, then someday someone may use the same tactics to get you or me.
