It’s not for military officers to decide. If our officers started refusing orders based on political whim or conspiracy theory, we’d have a hell of a mess. And, yes, it is a conspiracy theory. Obama was elected and sworn into office. Like it or not, until and unless found guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and removed from office he IS the President of the United States and Commander-in-chief of our military.
I agree. It’s not for someone like LTC Lakin to decide that. That’s why he asked his chain of command, and his elected representatives for assurances that his Commander in Chief was in fact Constitutionally qualified. He was either ignored, or they couldn’t answer in the affirmative.
The 20th Amendment says that if the President elect “fails to qualify” by Jan 20th the VP elect is to “act as President until a President shall have qualified”.
Lakin and everybody else in this country deserves to have an answer to whether Obama “failed to qualify” by Jan 20, 2009.
Since the Hawaii DOH has made a statutory admission that Obama’s BC is amended, and since Hawaii law says that an amended BC has no inate probative value, even Obama’s age is legally undetermined at this point. How could he have qualified by Jan 20th if nobody even to this day can legally say how old he is?
Careful, you may be called an 0bot, flamed mercilessly, and THEN what will you do?
Just sayin.
