Actually, you're not far off. The legal responsibility to run the Army rests with the Department of the Army. It's the law. Look it up.

In this particular fight I'm not on Obama's side or Lakin's side, I'm on the Army's side. You can't have an Army if everyone gets to decide which orders to obey. The Army can't and shouldn't sort out Obama's qualifications, that's for other branches of the government.

So the title “Commander in Chief” means nothing.

Mm hm.

So the Army can just be a dictator’s personal little force if somehow a fake CiC worms his way in there.

What a nice little tool you are.

Well said. It's such an obvious point.

Lakin tried to have the military verify that the CIC’s eligibility had been proven.

If the military leaders had any honor they would have gone to Nancy Pelosi and said, “You signed a certification that Obama was Constitutionally eligible. Our soldiers need to know on what basis you swore that, because if you’re lying that means that the CIC can’t issue any legal orders.”

The fact of the matter - as we now know - is that neither Nancy Pelosi nor anybody in the DNC has EVER asked to see Obama’s documentation. Nancy Pelosi got her “oath” out of her rear end just like she gets everything that comes out of her mouth.

She needs to be locked in jail for a very, very long time. In a just world she would also be shining Lt Col Lakin’s boots.

You can't have an Army in a Free Republic, where the officers refuse to follow the oath they are required to take before becoming officers. That oath does not require obeying orders, but it does require supporting and defending the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
