Actually I want them to obey the oath they swore to, you know to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.

Oddly enough this is the very much the same oath Congress swears to and I believe that so does the electoral college as well.

It is the duty of all members of our military to support the Constitution above all else, and if Obama is not eligible their obedience to his unlawful orders is unconstitutional.

Why is that such a hard concept for you to grasp?

The Armed Forces are the first and last defense of our Constitution always, and they have been used before to enforce it’s laws against those that attempted to shred the Constitution for their own benefit.

“...if Obama is not eligible their obedience to his unlawful orders is unconstitutional.”

I strongly agree with that statement. Where I disagree is in who determines Obama is not eligible. That isn’t part of an officer’s duties.

Military service involves trust. We don’t get to see all the evidence that sends us to war, nor do we review our targeting (in the USAF) - that is done by the lawyers prior to our getting the target packet.

So it is with the President. If the 50 states, Electoral College, Congress and the courts accept him as a legitimate President, then the military officer must either obey his otherwise lawful orders or resign.
