So if a usurper sits in the White House who gained that position by fraud, deceit or even violence, just theoreticlally here, the military (you said Army) must slavishly follow him no matter what illegalities got him in that position.

He gained the position by the Electoral College and the Chief Justice. Deal with it. And learn how to spell.

If the Constitution means nothing, then the entire rule of law is trashed. And you seem to like this situation.

The Constitution means a lot. You ought to read it.

When this first started I thought Lakin was well-meaning but misguided and should be dealt with leniently. The more I hear from his crazed supporters who seem to want the Army to pull some kind of a military coup, I think he needs to do prison time to send the message loud and clear that soldiers must continue to obey orders and do their duty despite having a POS for President.

Ooh ooh - I added an extra “i” to a word!! Nullifies my entire argument, which of course you ignored.

Deal with it youself.

And you can stuff your support of 0thugga down your piehole and choke on it.

POS for President.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A “POS” likely has as much legitimacy as the current occupant of the Oval Office.

He gained the position by the Electoral College and the Chief Justice.

The Chief Justice's role is merely ceremoninal, that is not based on a Constitutional requirement. While the oath must be taken, it need not be adminstered by the Chief Justice, nor even taken orally.

Taking the oath is a requirement, jsut like being a Natural Born Citizen, 35 or over and 14 years a resident, but it does not make one President, the oath could be taken days before a person becomes President. The final item is the clock and calender, as now specified in the XXth amendment, section 1.
