A retired three star Flag Officer recently stated he knows of certain unnamed individuals within the Armed Forces of having at least considered the possibility of an armed coup d'état aimed directly at of Barack Obama, as reported by the on-line news portal Government Executive on Nov. 4, 2013.
(GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE) -- A former top general and current executive at the Family Research Council says members of the military have considered staging a coup d'état against president, but will not because of civilian control of the military.
"People I've spoken to would like to see the military 'fulfill their constitutional duty and take out the president,' " retired Army Lt. Gen. William Boykin told World Net Daily, a website best known for pushing Obama "birther" conspiracy theories. "Our Constitution puts a civilian in charge of the military and as a result a coup would not be constitutional. You're not going to see a coup in the military."
"I talk to a lot of folks who don't support where Obama is taking the military, but in the military they can't say anything," Boykin said.

Yeah. Me too.
Last thing we need is making him a martyr.
Are you referring to Clinton’s assignations with Monica???
Problem is that its more than just Obammy and his party.
But him and his toadies would be a good start.
We.could use George Washington today.
How do the people "take out" the media?
No real elections will occur in 2016 anyway - that would be our expiration date.
Be still my beating heart.
That’s because officers don’t reenlist. We take the same oath when commissioned and it is for life. Wonder how much this so-called military officer knows?
Glad you gave the command. They’ve been waiting, holding back for your thumbs up. And now the dominoes are falling at a propitious rate....
What about when a Congress is too complicit to impeach?
!
Burt Lancaster or Kirk Douglas?
7 Days in May,as a primer
I hear the libs are afraid Tony Stewart wants to drive down Obama and to fling him into the next state.
Senior officers only option is to serve or resign.
None of them have resigned. That shows you the mettle of todays military leadership - senior officers and general staff.
They want the perks of their position, and don’t really care about America or it’s military.
Just like Obama.
No honor amongst them is apparent, just execution of orders that result in needless deaths of US soldiers.
Perhaps its a generational thing. We need to get past this generation of military leaders - from the commander-in-chief on down to 0-6 and hope that there are true leaders in the pipeline.
I must disagree. A sitting president who commits treason should suffer the maximum penalty and serve as a non-living example for the rest of eternity.
Why impeach him?
Just remove him from office, arrest him, try him for treason, and give him a just sentence for such treason.
More left-wing Democrat agitprop if you ask me.
Well supposedly there is a faction in the military called Dark Horse that wants to take out the trash.
