And then there's the de facto officer doctrine that dictates even if Obama is found ineligible, actions taken under color of office are valid.

Sounds a lot like 9th Circuit reasoning where gun control laws are left on the books as "reasonable restrictions" despite the clear language of "shall not be infringed".

All military authority rests on the Chain of Command. If the CiC isn't eligible to BE in command, then any orders given under that authority are equally invalid.

It's easy calculus.

It's nothing like that at all. That you think so evidences your lack of knowledge on the subject.

It's not calculus at all. It's law, in which you are obviously unversed. In the law, simply insisting something is true does not make it so. To insist in the face of established statute reflected in actual court rulings simply demonstrates ignorance.
