“Yeah, the military has an obligation to obey ALL orders. It doesn’t matter if the person giving them is doing so legally or not! And they shall have no standing to use the law to confirm if they are legal!

Is this the Wehrmacht we are talking about?”

No, the military doesn't have to obey all orders. Clearly illegal orders involving crimes do not have to be obeyed. But the military is set up to function under the de facto officer doctrine no matter how much people unversed in the law stick their fingers in their ears and try to deny it. So as long as Obama is accepted as President by the government, sub-units of the military will continue to give orders that are fully lawful.

What happens to your argument if Obama’s acceptance by the government was and continues to be defective?

I ask because so long as Obama conceals his birth documents from the Congress together with the fact he has conceded his father was a non-citizen, no one including the members of Congress can say he is qualified.

LTC Lakin may argue in essence that until Congress properly certifies Obama pursuant to 3 USC 15 (which it failed to do for political reasons), the certification is incomplete, that Obama is not yet qualified for the office nor is he authorized to issue military orders.

Considering that the military was set up well before that doctrine became part of the law, that seems highly unlikely.
