An attorney-doctor from Kansas whose brother is scheduled for a court-martial says President Obama could, if he chose, resolve the dispute virtually without effort.
Greg Lakin, whose brother is Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, told talk radio show host Peter Boyles on KHOW radio in Denver that it would be "easy."
"It could have been an easy fix. Obama could have stepped up and done the honorable thing and made this all go away," Greg Lakin said in the interview this week. "Just some type of showing, 'Hey, I was born here … here's some proof.'"
WND reported a new trial date has been announced by the military for Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, the career Army doctor who decided to refuse an assignment to Afghanistan because of his concern that the orders he was issued in a chain of command headed by Barack Obama were not legal.
According to attorney Neal Puckett, who has represented Lakin since a military judge ordered Lakin could not have access to any information about President Obama's eligibility, the trial is scheduled to begin Dec. 14 and run for three days.
He confirmed to WND that there will be new directions for the defense but could not elaborate.
"All I can really say is the case is going to be handled differently from here on out," he said.
Greg Lakin said he fears the military, which he said never has had to confront the possibility that a president may not be eligible and his orders then may be illegitimate, may take the easy way out and simply lock up his brother.

Nothing anyone does can make Obama a natural born citizen. No discovery is needed. The Constitution was never intended to have definitions for legal term, and has few. Our common law, according to Joseph Story, Alexander Hamilton, and many other founders and framers, comes largely from Vattel's law of Nations, our Nation's first law school text, at William and Mary in 1779, the curriculum designed by Thomas Jefferson.
Read in rsxid's thread in Free Republic about the meaning of natural born citizenship. Read The Venus, or Minor V. Happersett, or Wong Kim Ark, in which Minor is cited and quoted and Wong Kim, born on our soil of Chinese parents, is deemed a citizen, and not a natural born citizen.
Here is Chief Justice Morrison Waite from his decision in Minor v. Happersett.
"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners."
Our legislators let it happen, probably because McCain too was ineligible. It was tough, almost impossible, for Republicans to raise the Constitutional issue about a POW. But law is law. The Democrats were all over McCain's ineligibility, until they decided Obama was who they wanted, and knew they needed McCain running to shield Obama from questions about his British citizenship at birth. Had any Republican spoken up, Hillary would be the candidate. They no doubt would have raised the race issue, claiming that we only used the seldom used natural born citizen requirement on Obama because he is partly black. It was clever maneuvering, but Obama is still ineligible.
Every congressman is complicit in willfully ignoring the Constitution, Article II. Why willfully? We know from a very recently exposed memorandum from the Congressional Research Service sent to every Congressman in the Spring of 2009 that they all know there is an issue. They were provided with blatently incorrect legal analysis, but were informed that it was Congress which is responsible for vetting presidents. They vetted McCain, but not Obama. They were asked, many if not all Conressmen, to vet Obama. Commander Kerchner sent registered letters in the Summer of 2008. The wall was already up. That is one of the issues raised in the complaint now in the docket of the Supreme Court filed by Commander Kerchner and prepared by Mario Apuzzo. ( http://puzo1.blogspot.com )

If you put the long form BC in a shop in India (ideally, inside a Ganesh), Michelle will snap it up in a heartbeat.
And I am reminded of his trip to Pakistan and Indonesia with his Muslim buddy form Occidental College back in 81 when Pakistan was on th e’No fly “list,and Christians, Jews, and Americans were not welcome in Pakistan.What passport did the shadow use?My appologies to an old and good radio show.
I am not confident that the Republicans posses the political will to do the Right thing -and expose the FRAUD, and or
his unconstitutional/ criminal actions. Afraid what is under the rug might frighten them if exposed to the light.
I’ve always found this photograph important.
According to the person who owns the photo, he has a second photo of the two of them taken a year later in the next grade up.
My only conclusion is that this is the real Barak Hussein Muhammed Obama (his real name, according to missionaries who know the Obama family in Kenya), and the child in Indonesia was adopted by the Soteros in Indonesia.
It isn’t possible for one person to be in two places at the same time.
LOL!
Wikipedia has trouble with credibility.
I agree with your point. But I remember that Army Sp. Michael G. New even today cannot get a civil review of his discharge
because the Army claims not all appeals have been processed.
Col Lakin is an American Hero and ought be a model for our
Military Officers. His brother rightly points out the LIE told
in Military Court that Obama is not responsible for the Order
That the Pentagon issued lawful order. Obama is not party to or relevant to the case. Obama has taken credit for the surge.If he is not party /nor relevant why is he CIC?
And yet the Military will do the bidding of Congress-or as it
supposes that will to be. and I remind you of Army Sp. New.The
Constitutional question there has NEVER been resolved in Court.
ow much faith do you have that Congress—or the Court has the
political will to do the Right thing and honor their Oath and
the US Constitution? CRS has published a report sent to Congress (not intended for public consumption) that says in
short that NOBODY was required by law to verify any Candidates eligibility for Office. Those Administered under the Constitution an Oath or affirmation to defend the US Constitution are not required by law to provide the check or
balance intended by our tripart Government.the supreme Court
has in past created a record of acting political under the guise of legal.
Amen— You nailed it.Those who claim natural born citizen now means merely being born in the United States still can offer no credible example or law that allows any Court to change the meaning of the terms used in settled law. There is nothing that can make the leopard change its spots ,or the Ethiopian change the color of his skin, or evil change to good.And nothing can make Barack Hussein Obama what he is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.
Lawlessness is everywhere in our society today.
It used to be that individuals possessed integrity, and a person’s honor meant something. That is no longer the case.
It is up to the political parties to assure that their candidate is eligible and meets the requirements for whatever office he/she seeks to fill.
Hawaii’s Democratic Party refused to sign off on Obama’s eligibility as a candidate. Nancy Pelosi flew to Hawaii and signed it herself for the Party. Was what she did illegal?
Obviously, there are people in Hawaii who know that Obama isn’t eligible to be President. Obviously Nancy Pelosi knows, too.
My main question is — why is it so important to have this particular man as President at this particular time?
What is he supposed to achieve that another Democrat couldn’t do?
But most importantly of all, why are so many people willing to do unethical and even illegal acts to get him into the Presidency AT THIS POINT IN TIME?
The military is sworn to uphold and protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies (domestic and foreign). obama is not and never can be a Natural born citizen. If congress does not remove him by voiding( not impeachment) his election, then it is the duty of the military to remove him. It is a act of treason for Lakin or any other officer to follow the commands of obama.

Gee! I thought the president of our United States had to be **more** than a citizen. He must be a natural born citizen.
I took the Officer's oath many years ago.
I know you know the difference between the Oath of Office and the Oath of Enlistment.
I do.
Yet you feign ignorance and take a poke at castlegreyskull using the "superior officer" argument from the Oath of Enlistment when you know Lt. Col. Lakin is an officer. Why would you do that?
Because it is a valid question. Lakin is charged with disobeying the orders of three superior officers, missing movement, and conduct unbecoming of an officer. How can you reconcile such conduct with the oath he took as an officer?
Correcto. Obama didn’t pony up to the bar because he was born in Kenya to a British subject.
As we can see, deceit is valid so long as it serves the agenda in NS’s twisted mind.
Then certainly you can point us to a credible online source that refutes them? How about the U.S. Senate itself? Would that be more credible than Wikipedia? List of expelled senators
