He'll get that chance starting December 14th. It should be interesting.
Anything he disobeyed that was associated with the deployment order is documentably dependent on a valid POTUS in order to be “lawful”.
Obama's status is irrelevant to the question of whether the order's Lakin is charged with disobeying are lawful or not. The question is did Colonel Roberts, Colonel McHugh, and Lieutenant Colonel have the authority to issue the orders that they did? The answer is yes they did. The question then is were the orders lawful? The answer is yest they were.
A darn good case has been made for the lawfulness of ALL orders being dependent on a valid, Constitutional POTUS...
You haven't made a convincing case to date, and I've been watching you post on this for months.
...but the “use of force” orders are certifiably dependent, according to Lind’s own statement that Congress has some authority over military matters - because Congress expressly gave that authority ONLY to “the President”.
