U.S. military officials tell NBC News that the U.S. Army will court martial a lieutenant colonel who refuses to deploy to Afghanistan because he considers orders from President Obama to be "illegal."
Army doctor Lt. Col. Terry Lakin believes Obama does not meet the constitutional requirements to be president and commander-in-chief

A panel as you describe can only relieve him of duty, not assign punishment unless he agrees to administrative punishment. He has a right to a trial, even in the military you have this right.
Ok...please explain the difference between a native born and a natural born citizen.
The first swearing in, I have begun to believe, was deliberately bungled. We never SAW the second swearing in...just some clips after the fact. What are we to think? Has he ever been sworn in? Was he sworn in, but on the Quran? Was special langugage used if he was sworn in, so neither the Justice or Obummer can be brought up on charges later if fraud is exposed? More questions...no answers.
Of the Bible. Great story.
The panel I described is the jury panel at his Court Martial trial , the court will prescribe punishment after he is convicted . Nonjudicial punishment is not even a factor . I was going to say I was sorry about the clown remark , but you insist on removing any doubt about it
I do not believe there is a difference between native born and natural born citizens. I think that the Douglas quote you provided supports my position. In the first sentence, Douglas is saying that the basic premise is that there is no difference between native born citizens and naturalized citizens; in the second, he clarifies that the only difference (the only exception to this basic premise) is that natural-born/native-born citizens can be President, while naturalized citizens cannot.
But this usurper in the Oval Office has plenty of money to buy the government two car companies and establish Wall Street firms as wards of the state.
Now this DOCTOR , who also took an oath to heal and do no harm , refuses to treat our soldiers in the combat zone.
He is not refusing. He is refusing to do so without proof that the Usurper in the Oval Office [who is buying car companies with dollars that should go to provide rations and supplies for our soldiers] is qualified to deny the soldiers these things by showing his birth certificate and proving his bonafides.
It's Obama doing the denying -- no one else. This doctor is ready and willing to serve -- but only under a legal orders and a legitimate Constitutional chain of command.
I'm glad I could help you get your facts straight.
Close, but no cigar. The Federal Penitentiary is off post, actually just outside Fort Leavenworth. The U.S. Army Disciplinary Barracks is on post. The USDB is where a soldier might spend time if so convicted and sentenced, as it is the only maximum security prison within the Department of Defense. I seriously doubt if the good LTC will ever see the inside of the USDB.
It must be something about U.S. Army AMEDD, perhaps they are still reeling from the Major Hasan fiasco.
Or maybe, a general court is precisely what LTC Lakin was looking for. A special court could be hidden within the bureaucracy, but it is tough to hide a general court.
In any jury trial he will get the opportunity to present his case. You seem to skip this step.
The opinion of the supreme court in 1967 said a naturalized citizen had the same rights and standing as a native born citizen..based on this..are you saying a naturalized citizen can be president?
Chief Justice Marshall early stated in dictum that [a] naturalized citizen . . . becomes a member of the society, possessing all the rights of a native citizen, and standing, in the view of the Constitution, on the footing of a native.

Thats only true if born abroad. If born in the US it does not matter.
He will get that chance . Sort of . He will be allowed to introduce what evidence the judge decides he can introduce . He is screwed .
Your talking about native born right?
Ya, I just don’t agree with you. The trial will be out in the public domain and no military judge is going to deny a defendant every reasonable opportunity to defend himself.
Do you think Chief Justice Roberts bungled the oath because Obama voted against his confirmation or some other nefarious reason ? Is Roberts a deep cover mole acting as part of the Obama plan to destroy America ??
will he have to finally cough it up???
Well, the White House would never interfere with Military Justice, but they might indicate they would not be displeased by a sentence more like Private Slovik's.
You are a fool and an idiot.
You don't know sh!t about integrity and honor.
So if I were you I would look to that time honored statement of "it is better to remain quiet and thought a fool, then to speak and remove all doubt".

I thought that part was pretty evident by just looking at him.
Officers are obligated to determine whether issued orders are legal. He’s got standing. US v. Calley.
Question is whether he has a case. I can think of a dozen ways the US can argue this without bringing up the notion of whether the President is qualified to hold the office under the Constitution.
This all depends on how good his lawyer is, I’m afraid.
