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.

A man can dream.
He needs to be impeached, removed from office, tried for treason and imprisoned for life - a living monument to what happens to chief executives who make war on the American People.
oh yeah...lets talk openly about a coup.
these men are too stupid to do it.
If it were a bunch of NCOs i would have more faith in their ability pull it off. but they would not talk about.
People have to be careful, as names are probably being written down for execution later. This occupant dreams of a caliphate and will put heads on the White House fence. But yes, people can dream.
I hope that it’s more real than this b.s. story:

In the words of RMN: “... but that would be wrong”
I smell false flag, as in Sympathy for the Devil, as in declaring martial law while claiming it’s protection from the evil white men generals....
Any other “take out” attempt would be more than just wrong. It would be evil.
“What constitutes ‘Taking Out’ Obama?If it involves the succession of power then no one in their right mind would allow that to happen, elevating Biden as next in line. If it were merely the removal of the president from office, then he succession of power would not apply being constitutionally unprecedented. I believe its just mere locker room talk the general is repeating”
Let’s think about that. Would you rather have Putin in power or would you rather have Clarabelle in power? Clarabelle is a lot easier to confuse and defeat - Putin/Obama is evil/dangerous/committed.
According to Benjamin Franklin posited that Impeachment was preferable to assignation when a chief executive became obnoxious. What about when a Congress is too timid to impeach?
Ruh, roh
With our failures in Syria, Egypt, Libya, Iraq and it’s now effecting Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Turkey and involving Iran, it’s reached critical mass. And the world is becoming angry with us now. I’d say we are in trouble and there appears to be no leadership in DC, and the former SoS is now pointing fingers at the Prez and back and forth childs actions by both of them. We no longer have any leadership in DC

Darn Auto correct strikes again!
That is a really good question. And the answer is that the people must replace that Congress with one that is not too timid to impeach. If the people are not willing to do that, then impeachment (and removal) is off the table.
The majority of voters must have the ultimate say in the matter.
But I'm not done yet. What if the elections are truly rigged? Or what if the media has so distorted things that the people truly don't know what's really going on? Then what?
I suppose we must hope the courts step in. Or hope for a convention of the states.
Otherwise, it's either tyranny, or some sort of conflict. And by conflict, I'm not necessarily saying violent conflict. It could be massive civil disobedience.
