Regarding contingency plans and whether the military addresses various scenarios, including if the POTUS is an enemy combatant..... this is taken from http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/bellringers_corner/hello_central/news.php?q=1256853577
(If there are retired or active duty military officers who are reading this and can either affirm or deny the likelihood of this scenario being addressed within military classes, as well as whether this prescribed response fits what they were taught..... please let me know, either here or in Freepmail. Thanks! =)
It is introduced this way:
>>>>>>>>>>>>
“Dear Patrick,
I did some inquiry with some fellow retired and active duty military officers that are in the know, concerning the question of “who has the authority to arrest the President?” Some serve in the Pentagon. This is the best response I received from an awesome fellow Patriot. I will withhold his name to protect him from retaliation. However, he is not afraid. This matches what I was taught in the Intelligence schools and military schools at Air University and other Universities that I have attended. I served my Country and the US Constitution for 32 years as an Air Force Officer. I still work as a consultant on matters of national security...”
>>>>>>>>>>
And this is the response that he got from a retired or active duty military officer:
>>>>>>>>>>
“Question: Does the Provost Marshal General of the Army or Marine Corp have the athority to arrest the President?
This would not ‘usually’ be the case. The Provost Marshal General of The Army is a Headquarters US Army flag officer position and serves directly under the Chief of Staff - US Army.
In one of our legal classes in Command & Staff School - Air University, the scenario was built classroom-style that greatly parallels the terrible situation we find ourselves in today. (Please remember that these classes were taught by Harvard Law School folks with a string of letters behind their names as long as your arm.)
“It has been determined that the president has committed treason in a manner unmistakable to all. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff convenes a covert meeting to get a vote of the JCS. (Here is where the Provost Marshall General of the Army and/or Marines may be in attendance.)
Please remember at this time that a military officer takes an oath of office to do one thing and one thing only - “....... to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, foreign OR DOMESTIC.” They must determine above a reasonable doubt that the enemy domestic is the treasonous president.
A convoy of 10 to 12 HIGH ranking officers depart the Pentagon, accompanied by a large contingent of Military Police (Provost Marshal General??) and all necessary armament and provisions to enter the grounds of the White House, by FORCE if necessary, proceed to the location of the president and put him under arrest.
(This scenario is when we are not at DECLARED WAR)
Then, The Chairman of the JCS would advise the Speaker of The House, The President of the Senate, The Attorney General and the Secretary of State of their actions.
In times of DECLARED WAR, the president can be shot on the spot if he resists or is a threat to the nation or those around him. Please remember, that the last DECLARED WAR was the second world war, declared on 8 December 1941.
Why haven’t we seen this today. Simple - we are devoid of Constitutional military leadership - they have morphed into political, pussified, wishy-washy, pants-wetting yes-men. (Enough to make you puke)
Hope this helps.”

OMG! B, you have officially jumped the shark. Not only are you advocating a military coup, you are citing whackadoodle nutjob websites to support that crazy, illegal, unconstitutional notion!
I linked you to an official opinion paper by the Department of Justice which cites the Constitution, laws, and court cases to conclude that the President of the United States may not be arrested and detained. You obviously ignore anything which doesn’t support your desire for the military to arrest and detain a sitting President. Instead you search on the internet for anything which might back your idiotic idea. Well, lo and behold, you come across a whackadoodle nutjob website which does just that.
I like how you conveniently omit part of what that whackadoodle you quoted said. You left out: “The good guys outnumber the bad ones, but the bad ones have their allegiance tied to the New World Order, and the Illuminati Masters, so they utilize that power to override the authority of the good guys.”
Of course, if you bothered to do a little research, you might find out exactly who is behind that whackadoodle website. I just love their objectives, found on their Mission Statement page (http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_static/general/our_mission.php). Go there and read all the objectives, but they include things such as: “To reveal the evil world leaders’ cover-up of off-world humans (our ancestors), who are here in starships in Earth’s atmosphere at this time, and who have come with good intent to help us prevent the evil Plan 2000 from being accomplished, and to help us establish the New Age of Enlightenment.”
Yup, B, that’s the group you’re going to for legal advice. They’re about as unChristian a group as you will find.
