I've even seen some suggestions that the military should remove him as being unqualified. I think most Americans, even most birthers, can recognize this as a contender for the worst idea in American history.

Would you rather the military remove a B.S. pResident from office or...
march against us, the citizenry when worst comes to worst? (complete totalitarianism)

That is not a binary solution set. Implying it is is a fallacious argument.

I would hope our military would refuse to obey unconstitutional orders, but without staging a coup. The Honduran military recently gave a good example in this regard. They refused unconstitutional orders, but then followed the rules of their own Constitution, which is admittedly very different from ours.

It's not an either/or. Get the military into politics by letting them unseat elected politicians, and soon or later they will use that power against the public.
