But wouldn't that force Zelaya & Baby Hugo to "intervene"? Turnabout, and honor among thieves, etc.
“Given such a ruling by the SCOTUS, the US military would have the final de facto say regarding who is, or is not, POTUS. Based on past history, they would probably back the SCOTUS. They probably wouldn’t have to do anything other than state that, based on the SCOTUS ruling, they no longer recognize Obama as Commander in Chief. Were that to happen, the debate would be over (with apologies to Al Gore.)”
Even though I privately (never openly in public in my name) question the constitutional eligibility of POTUS Obama (in my “opinion” being the son of an alien is enough to disqualify). I must tell you that a SCOTUS decision would be a step in the right direction to depose a sitting POTUS. However, as a member of the military, reservist in my case, I would NOT support (nor participate in) deposing a POTUS until the congress properly impeaches him in the House and convicts him in the Senate. The SCOUS has no power to remove any POTUS, only to rule on the Constitution. If the Congress fails to properly act on that SCOTUS decision, I (IMHO) cannot act. For me to do so would be unconstitutional. I cannot violate the constitution to uphold it. Also, this is NOT a banana republic. The military cannot take sides, it is too dangerous a precident. The military take orders from the CINC and the chain-of-command flowing down from that office. Until that person is constitutionally removed, regardless of personal feelings of like or dislike, the sitting POTUS is in charge.....anything else is dangerous anarchy. You don’t want this to happen.
