Officers in our military take an oath to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution. Enlisted personnel do not. They are our last line of defense should the President issued an executive order that the protest in Washington on the 19th is a ‘national emergency’, declares martial law, and arrests the attendees as ‘domestic terrorists’. That really doesn’t sound so far-fetched, does it? It would be tough for any officer at that point not to consider the complicit acts of Congress to give that kind of power to the President, and consider joining other officers deciding to occupy Washington until special elections are held to replace Congress and the President. At that point they would stand down.
And the birth certificate is a canard. The issue is the law concerning children born of unmarried women (bigamous marriage not legal in U.S.) and her status to confer her citizenship if she is under the age of majority if the birth is overseas. If the birth was within U.S. jurisdiction, a different law may hold that she had insufficient residency to confer her citizenship at the time of birth, but that her child became naturalized several months after the birth. How the obvious civil law decision will play in military courts will prove to be interesting in itself. Will the military court request a decision from SCOTUS?
And the recent revelation of the Kenyan MP who specifically stated last month that Obama, Jr., was born in Kenya is not a fact lightly dismissed.
Where do you people get your information?
Really? U.S. Armed Forces Oath of Enlistment
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
