Not a winning strategy. His deployment orders don’t come from the President, they come from his commanding officer. Only the officer who got the orders from the President would be able to challenge those orders.

The orders aren’t unlawful, congress authorized deployments, so he couldn’t argue that either.

Secret Service could refuse to take a bullet for the President unless he proved eligibility.

I've thought about this... no doubt this will be the prosecution's argument. However, he also has an equally strong case for demanding proof of eligibility. An ineligible president cannot give lawful orders. Therefore, any unlawful order cannot become lawful simply because it is being obeyed lower in the chain of command. He has every right as an officer to demand that proof of eligibility be provided.

The failure of elected officials to verify eligibility does not make his fraud permissible or lawful.

If Obama is not legit, he cannot give any orders to anyone.
