From UCMJ Article 71: "a) If the sentence of the court-martial extends to death, that part of the sentence providing for death may not be executed until approved by the President. In such a case, the President may commute, remit, or suspend the sentence, or any part thereof, as he sees fit. That part of the sentence providing for the death may not be suspended."

I don't think that there will be any problems with this.

President Hillary will pardon him.

And probably name him Secretary of the Army.

Firing squad is the honorable means of execution, and he doesn't deserve that. Bring back hanging.

So how long does the Military take to execute someone?

According to posters on yesterdays thread it will be a long long time.

In the meantime, send him to Club Gitmo! Those are his people there anyway.
