" This is why when defending the US Constitution according to their oaths, military officers MUST confront whether their Commander-in-Chief is Constitutionally qualified for the job. If he is not, then they themselves become the weapon a tyrant uses AGAINST the Constitution and the American people. "

Could a ineligible CiC who gave these orders just say that his EO can not be illegal or against the Constitution since he was not under the authority of the US Constitution in the first place ?

In other words, a ineligible CiC can say that his EO can't violate the US Constitution since he was not acting under the authority of the US Constitution since he is ineligible.

The only way he COULD give an executive order or act as CINC is if he was authorized by the Constitution. So if his EO is not under the Constitution then it’s not an EO. It would have as much authority as if I went on my rooftop and shouted out orders.
