zappafan.....possibly, but consider this: Nixon, facing Impeachment and removal from Office, resigned instead. DID ALL OF his signed Bills and apointments suddenly become invalid?
Gubment just don't work that way, ya betcha!!
I'm not a Constitutional law scholar, but I would presume that the follow-on CIC would have the RIGHT to vacate everything done by the previous CIC...or, just let them stand.
Saint.....your most offensive bit was the last sentence.....
You wrote 'democrat opposition'....instead of the proper 'democratic'....
Thanks for showing your true colors!!!! "

Back to point: Bless his heart, a 'retired' MG....for speaking his mind!!! Another thread look it up
Now, what...a PFC wishes to 'defy' orders?
Look....I am not a 'fan' of Bush, nor his 'actions' (refuse to call it a "war", because it is NOT!)
President Obama, not my first pick either!!! Was not a 'fan' from the get-go, but I find that I am warming to the thought.
("just a *damned piece of paper", according to Number 43
I've already pointed out that, regardless, ANY soldier must follow the Chain of Command.
Let's say you work for a Corporation....and you dislike the new CEO. Does THAT mean you can call "foul" all of a sudden, and refuse to work because the new CEO doesn't fit the 'bill' you pictured???
Thus, the 'Chain of Command'. Corporate, Military...same ole' same ole'.....

People like this not only endager themselves, but everyone that they fight with, and everything that they are supposed to be fighting for. as far as i'm concerned, this is prettty much treason, and they should be tried as such.

The difference is with corporate you can quit your job and go elsewhere, in the military you try to quit and everyone whines treason and has your ass tried in the court of law. Where the hell do the words civil liberties come into play in the life of a militant?

I know when I get a job I have to meet the requirements: drug test, no criminal background, proof of citizenship. If it turns out later I lied on my application, even if I'm already working, immediate termination is the result.
That's pretty standard across the country. There's not one law for the little guy and a different law for the big guy. Obama could solve a lot of this doubt by just SHOWING HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE!

Or your "buddies" will fill your $3 million football body full of bulletholes while you wave the white flag, come up and put a few right in your brain while you beg for your life -- like they did to Pat Tillman, the guy who gave up his miltimillion dollar football career to go fight terror and when he got there he found out it was all bogus. So after spying the guy out in his calls and letters back home, catching the drift that he was no longer Mr. Gung Ho to kill those terrorists anymore (found out the terrorists was his own government), they decided they'd best "off" him -- for "national security" reasons, you know.

Well....Aerm....see you've done your research...props!!!
Taking OFF from a carrier....the catapult.....do you have ALL OF YOUR knowledge from MS???
regardless....LANDING on a carrier....oh, and I do NOT want to hear about that Photo Op, back in 2003....it was SO 2003!!!!
We're straying off....look, it is simple.
A SOLDIER 'doubts' (Obama's) eligibility, defies orders. THAT is the issue...it is about THAT soldier....end of sentence!!!!

A few weeks ago, I suggested hypothetically that active military might have standing to bring a class action to question Obama’s POTUS eligibility. After reviewing various sections of the Uniform Code of Military Justice pointed out to me by various readers, I came to the conclusion that such a law suit would probably not only fail, but would also subject soldiers to potential court martial.
If Orly Taitz is going to solicit active military to join her potential law suit and sign consent forms thereto, then she should be charged with the responsibility of knowing the exact punishment her clients will be subjected to, and she should be protecting them from any unnecessary jeopardy.
There was absolutely no need for contemptuous language to have been uttered as such language is clearly in violation of Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which states:
Article 88—Contempt toward officials
a. Text of statute.
Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
Maximum punishment. Dismissal, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 1 year.
Clearly, calling the President an “imposter” and a “usurper” is contemptuous language by any possible definition of the word.

But, riddle me this: When you buck the 'chain of command', where are your 'friends'?
Here's what this guy 'could' have done....the 'conscientious objecter' route.
I think, the flimsy (He ain't a natural-born citizen) argument is going to bury this particular soldier.

Leo Donofrio, who also filed a lawsuit contesting Obama's (and McCain's) natural born citizenship has advised active military personnel not got involved in these lawsuits.

Aermacchi you still havent shown us evidence as to why Obama is not american born. As said prior the weight of the accusation lies on those individuals who are making these accusations. Obama has satisfied state and health officials and even his opponents with evidence of his natural born citizenship. The only people who are still going all over this thing are the rightwing fringe.
You have not provided us any evidence to prove thse accusations.... and it appears that all your doing now is throwing fits. I mean what is it going to kill you to admit the conspiracy has been debunked? Are you going to continue lying to yourself for the sake of arrogance?
Come on now.... show us undisputed evidence that he was not born in these United states or that his not a natural born citizen by law. The burden of proof lies on you.
