Absolutely wrong.

Congress is the only body that can remove a president. It is not the only body that can review evidence, so that in this instance (for example) a person can defend themselves against a court martial.

This guy isn’t claiming Obama should be removed by the court. That duty does solely remain the duty of Congress. He is merely demanding to know if Obama is qualified to be the CIC, and that he is therefore bound to follow his commands.

This is an honorable exercise. I don’t think every case should be accepted that challenges in this manner, but I do believe one test case should be. And it should be conducted by the rules of the court, just like any other.

If discovery does reveal something, then the member of the military is excused from following an illegitimate order, and it is then Congress’ duty to take action.

No one wants to be that person who pushes this issue down the so called slippery slope...

Actually if it's discovered that Obama isn't qualified to be President then a Presidential Impeachment would be targeting President Biden, who would be the President "should the President Elect fail to qualify."

He isn't charged with refusing to follow Obama's commands. Courts don't do investigations on unrealted questions. They have cases before them that have to be decided.

I know that Congress is the only body who can remove this president but, this Congress is also part of the conspiracy to block and or cover up this supposed POTUS eligibility documentation.

What do we do now? SCOTUS?

In my opinion this is a true Constitutional crisis.

I think it's clear that Lakin has the right to discovery. It seems quite unconsitutional and un-American that any soldier, who are American citizens, would have to put their lives on the line for someone who is posssibly a usurper.
