Not if it shows he was not born in the US.

Even if it shows that. He missed movement and he refused to obey the orders of his brigade commander. He can still be convicted of both.

The Manual for Courts Martial specificially indicates that the authority of the order giver is a factor in the lawfulness of the order.

And the order giver was his brigade commander.

And the order giver was his brigade commander.

The order to report to him, yes, and the other order Lakin is accussed of disobeying. But likely not the deployment order, or even it it came through the Brigage CO, it did not originate with him. Someone gave him the order, and someone else gave that person the order, and so one, until you get to Obama., where as another occupant of the office once said, "The Buck Stops" The question then is "did have the authority to issue such an order?". If he's not eligible, he's not the President, and has no authority at all.
