Because he is defined as a civilian Commander in Chief. He is, by definition a civilian, not a member of the military.

As for the Constitutional right to be President, I would guess that where it says that anyone who is a natural born citizen of the United States and has attained the age of 35 is eligible to hold the office.

He is the elected President of the United States, until and unless he has been proven to be otherwise ineligible. Since Congress has already ruled on is eligiblity, the point is moot.

Where in the Constitution does it say that? The Constitution I have reads:
“The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States [...]”

Nothing there about him being a *CIVILIAN* at all.

>As for the Constitutional right to be President, I would guess that where it says that anyone who is a natural born citizen of the United States and has attained the age of 35 is eligible to hold the office.

I would say that is quite correct.

>He is the elected President of the United States, until and unless he has been proven to be otherwise ineligible. Since Congress has already ruled on is eligiblity, the point is moot.

It is not moot, especially since we have indications of members of congress commuting fraud on this issue: namely Nancy Pelosi’s affidavit. Furthermore, a “ruling” by congress would do nothing to impact the eligibility of people born before it’s ruling: The Constitution expressly prohibits ex post facto laws. Furthermore, Congress only has power over defining the “rule[s] of immigration and naturalization” *NOT* for defining what a “Natural Born Citizen” is.

You don't know what you're talking about.

His civilian role is President of the United States of America.

His military role is Commander in Chief.

Congress and the Supreme court has defined Natural born citizenship as being born to parents whom are American citizens. Based on our laws , Article 2 of the Constitution , obama is ineligible to be President. Congress has chosen to ignor Article 2, but regardless it still leaves us with no legal President. Congress does not have the right to allow obama to serve as president,as they know he is ineligible. The proper way to remove obama is to VOID his election. This would mean he never ran for office , never choose biden as vice- President, never made any appointments. The legal President of the U.S. is John McCain and the legal vice- President is Sarah Palin. They have the majority of the “legal” electorial college votes. When obama’s election is voided ,so would his electorial college votes be voided.

First line of duties:

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States,

THERE IS NO MENTION OF HIM BEING A CIVILIAN =
