I believe that Obama alone could not only be seen as justification for the NBC requirement, but a possible additional requirement that said person should have been raised to at least understand our own nation before governing it.

This guy is more suited to governing Iran.

And that seems to be what he plans on turning this nation into, governing against the will of the people, his ayatollahs devotees to the unholy trinity of socialism, communism, and Marxism.

Its not her job to determine Obama’s eligibility to be president. As a member of military, she is the president. We cannot have an executive branch that is attacking the president. The only branch that is given power of removal over the president is congress.

Obama is not the president elect. We are past that. Obama is the president when he was sworn in, eligible or not. Only way to remove him is by impeachment and no republican congress is going to impeach the first black president. Not going to happen.

"Make sure he qualified to be President under the Constitution. Did everyone do the checking that was required?"

Well, yes. The procedure I outlined is all that's required.

If you mean, did someone check his birth certificate to see if he met the minimum age and other requirements, perhaps not. If any states required such things then they did, because he was on every ballot. But if nobody did it's because it wasn't required.

Except that massive fraud occured and blind eyes were turned towards the fraud that covered up his ineligibility.

So, no actual vetting went on.

"Question: From whence does an officer gain his authority to issue a command to a soldier?"

Every order doesn't depend on the President. Larkin disobeyed an order to report to a commanding officer's office. Is it your contention that nobody in the military can issue even the most trivial order until they see Obama's birth certificate? Because that's obvious nonsense.

To look at the glass half-full I can't think of anything worse than this "judge's" ruling....but I can't think of anything more helpful in keeping the case in the spotlight than her stupid, insane statement regarding "embarrassment" to The Usurper.

I never trust a military judge named "Denise".

"McCain was vetted by Congress. Research was done to prove that he was born on a US Navy Base in Panama."

No that's not true. Congress passed a non-binding resolution declaring McCain elibible. It was simply a political act to attempt to set aside any concerns people might have becuase McCain was born in the Canal Zone. It wasn't the result of some general effort to "vett" McCain. Everyone already knew his biography.

Tell your sister that there is no official vetting process other than our primary process for the party, the press and the opposing party.

The members of a party ask what it thinks it needs to ask. Hillary’s people raised the birther questions and they were never answered.

The press never pursued the issue after the certificate of birth was posted on line. Either they are too dumb to understand the the difference or they were afraid of being called racist.

The final vetting is the opposing party and its leader McCain thought having a christian liberation socialist as president would be just fine so he never raised the issue.

The issue of executive authority was clearly resolved by the Goldwater-Nichols DOD Reorganization Act of 1986: "The Secretaries of the Military Departments shall assign all forces under their jurisdiction to unified and specified combatant commands to perform missions assigned to those commands..."; the chain of command "runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense; and from the Secretary of Defense to the commander of the combatant command."

"Under the DOD Reorganization Act, the Secretaries of the Military Departments assign all forces to combatant commands except those assigned to carry out the mission of the Services, i.e., recruit, organize, supply, equip, train, service, mobilize, demobilize, administer and maintain their respective forces. The chain of command to these combatant commands runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense directly to the commander of the combatant command."

"I and a few million other people must have missed that, could you please show me when and where Congress ruled on his eligibility?"

When they counted and certified the electoral vote without objection.

“I think he may be speaking from the perspective of a military court. I don’t think he means that the information itself was embarrassing, but rather that it would be embarrassing to the Commander in Chief to be compelled to give evidence (of any kind) in such a proceeding. Members of the military are not supposed to do anything that would be critical or embarrassing to the administration, whatever their personal feelings are.”

Although I support LTC Lakin, I concurr with what you are saying. It would be “embarrassing” for the POTUS to be compeled by a mere LTC to have to submit evidence to a military court. That is what the judge is saying. However, I think the judge is wrong in that stance. We don’t have royalty in this country to include the POTUS.

Ok then, what about Obummer? Since he wasn't vetted, I guess the American people will just have to take Nancy Pelousy and the DNC's word for it then.

Someone has taken great pains to cover up the "Jacka$$ in the Whitehouse's" past.

Furthermore...

"Planning; Advice; Policy Formulation.
Subject to the authority, direction, and control of the President and the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shall be responsible for the following:"

Chairman: Appointment; Grade and Rank
There is a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, from the officers of the regular components of the armed forces. The Chairman serves at the pleasure of the Presiden t for a term of two years,"

Vice Chairman
There is a Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate...The Vice Chairman serves at the pleasure of the President for a term of two years"

Joint Staff
"Officers of the armed forces (other than the Coast Guard) assigned to serve on the Joint Staff shall be selected by the Chairman"

http://www.jcs.mil/page.aspx?id=29

If there is no President, because he is a usurper, he can not appoint a Chairman (nor Vice Chairman) of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. If ther is no legally appointed and confirmed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, there is no legally selected Joint Staff.

Well, we mustn’t embarrass Obama.

This is the same argument Obama’s lawyers presented in the original “Birther” case filed by Phil J. Berg, Esq, a former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania; former candidate for Governor and U.S. Senate in Democratic Primaries; former Chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery County; former member of Democratic State Committee, back in 2008.

The Obama team contented itself with a motion to dismiss the case and a protective order. In these motions, Obama’s lawyers argued that revealing the information (birth certificate, citizenship in other countries, college admissions records etc.) would “cause a defined and serious injury” to Obama and/or the DNC. They argued that revealing these documents raises a “legitimate privacy concern” and the above mentioned risk that “particularly serious embarrassment will result from turning over the requested documentation.”

Makes you wonder, what’s on that birth certificate — or not on that birth certificate — that could be soooooo embarrassing to the Obamamessiah?

The statement by Col. Lind that, “the chain of command led up to the Pentagon,” is patently false — and she knows it. The chain of command is required knowledge for every soldier, sailor, airman and Marine. It goes, unbroken, from the President of the United States to the lowliest private. It doesn’t begin and end with the Pentagon — a term that describes a building or an organization — and the Pentagon is most definitely not in the chain of command.

The AUTHORITY of any civilian official, commissioned, or non-commissioned officer to issue orders originates with the Commander-in-Chief, the President of the United States. So, what if the CiC is bogus?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lex%2C_Rex

Lex, Rex is a book by Samuel Rutherford published in 1644 on limited government and constitutionalism. The Latin title can be translated Law [is] King or Law [and the] King and, like the book's contents, opposes to the doctrine of "Rex Lex" where the king himself is the law. Rutherford's refutation of "Rex Lex" was based on Deuteronomy 17, and it supported the rule by law rather than rule by men based on such concepts as the separation of powers and the covenant, a precursor to the social contract. It laid the foundation for later political philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes and John Locke and thus for modern political systems such as that of the United States. After the English Restoration, the authorities burned Lex, Rex and cited the author for high treason, which his death prevented from taking effect.
