Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Obama’s eligibility is not relevant to the orders of Lakin’s superior commissioned officers. His superior officers were commissioned under Bush and their commissions have the full force and effect of law (Title 10, specifically) until they receive a new commission or separate from the military.

I don’t care if his superiors were commissioned by George Washington himself, the orders to deploy to Afghanistan come from the president’s authority, and no one else.

By the way, only the Congress can commission Military Officers, Presidents do not have that authority.

So if I understand you correctly, President George W. Bush is still our Commander-in-Chief, or does it goes way back to the 41/Bush???
