All officers have their authority from the commander-in-chief. In this case that would be the usurper Obama.

So every order given by every officer in every branch of service since January 20, 2009 has been illegal? Including any orders given by Lakin himself?

Every order given by Obama is. However, his orders has to be challenged and not many are going to do that in this political climate but for the very few.

Has it been illegal for Lakin to receive pay since 20 Jan 2009?

I'll qualify my last statement to you. Obama's orders do not have the backing of the US Constitution where only being constitutionally qualified presidential office holders derive their legitimacy and authority.

Yes. All were based on a chain of command that is faulty/defective.

Challenge to John McCain
Weigh in to end Obama birth controversy

The following, open letter to Senator McCain was written by Margaret Calhoun Hemenway. Her concern is the grave damage being done to the US military due tof Mr. Obama’s refusal to demonstrate his eligibility status.

Dear John McCain,

During the 2008 presidential campaign, the media hounded you about your “natural born” status- a law professor in Arizona even made the outrageous assertion, completely unjustified, that you were not “natural born” because of your birth in Panama. As a result, you released your original birth certificate. The controversy grew so heated that your Senate colleagues held a hearing and passed a unanimous, albeit non-binding resolution proclaiming you were “natural born” and therefore eligible to run for President. Senator Obama even co-sponsored this resolution.

Unfortunately, you never asked your rival to produce his original birth certificate— even though a roiling controversy surrounds his birth place- with no hospital in Hawaii willing to claim to be his birthplace- and recently, a senior elections clerk offered to testify in court that his boss, Glenn Takahashi, said there was no hospital birth record for Obama. Three prominent Kenyans said Obama was born in Kenya, contrary to his official birth narrative— including his paternal step-grandmother, Sarah Obama, Ambassador Peter Ogego (on WRIF radio in November 2008) and recently, in March, Cabinet Minister James Orengo- on the floor of the Kenyan Parliament.

A Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin is being court-martialed for asking Obama to produce an original birth certificate- consistent with the oath he swore as an officer- of loyalty to the U.S. Constitution. His deployment orders required him to produce his birth certificate- yet the man commanding ALL the US Armed Forces refuses to submit his for public scrutiny. Truthfully, the citizenship status of the President of the United States- remains undetermined. You are ranking on the Senate Armed Services Committee with oversight over the Department of Defense- it is incumbent upon you to raise your voice- to ask Obama to release his birth records and to avert this court-martial and the ruination of a fine officer’s career- a man who has served 18 years, was selected for promotion to Colonel- and who has deployed six times, including twice to combat zones, in service to his country. You are seen by many as a hero for your tragic capture and torture in Vietnam- even today, our soldiers trained on “duty to disobey” because of My Lai. Col. Lakin is upholding this positive duty to affirm the legality of his orders. If we do not resolve this controversy now, you might expect that soldiers who were part of Obama’s surge, will come home missing arms and legs, and like others before them who served in uniform, will undoubtedly file lawsuits in other courtrooms, asking judges if they have standing. This will rip apart the Armed Forces- it is causing dissension already among our people and emotions are escalating. This unanswered question- was Obama born in Hawaii- or Kenya- must be dealt with now. There is a shadow over this Presidency which could be ended immediately if Obama directs his lawyers to release his original birth record, just as you did in 2008.

Very truly yours,

Margaret Hemenway

Margaret Calhoun Hemenway is a 15-year veteran of Capitol Hill and a former White House appointee, serving at both DoD and NASA. Currently, she is the official spokesperson for Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, now being court martialed for requesting Barak Obama’s birth certificate.
