Those of you FRers who want to argue that Lakin disobeyed a direct order from Lakin's commanding officer, Hear this. Lakin's commanding officer has NO authority over Lakin unless it comes from that commander's superior officer and that chain of command continues going up until it rest with ONE man, POTUS.

You're just plain wrong. The military, in this case the Army, operates under the laws of Title 10 of the U.S. Code. Congress has granted authority for various military functions to various military officers via Title 10. Congress grants commissions to officers, which are signed by the POTUS. Those officers have statutory authority under Title 10 for their command.

That means their orders are lawful regardless of Obama's eligibility. An ineligible POTUS does not make Title 10 null and void.

Oh, now I get it. Lt. Fuzz wakes up one day and orders his platoon to invade Lichtenstein. However, Sgt. Snorkel says, "I won't go." Therefore, Sgt. Snorkel is guilty of missing a movement and now sits in Leavenworth.

What a fine legal mind you have.
