Soldier: Obama not U.S. born, can't send me to Afghanistan

[-Cp]

MACON — U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook is seeking a federal court order to stall and eventually prevent an upcoming deployment to Afghanistan.

In the 20-page document — filed July 8 with the United States District Court, Middle District of Georgia — Cook's California-based attorney, Orly Taitz, asks the court to consider granting his client's request based upon Cook's belief that President Barrack Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of U.S Armed Forces.

Cook further states he "would be acting in violation of international law by engaging in military actions outside the United States under this President’s command, and that Plaintiff would thus be simultaneously unable to perform his duties in good Rule 65(b) Application for Temporary Restraining Order 22 conscience and yet be simultaneously subjecting himself to possible prosecution as a war criminal by the faithful execution of these duties."

Another Watada.

Fuck this guy.

Oooooh.

Wouldn't it be some shit if it is found that Obama wasn't born in the US and it is still ruled that he can be President because hs mother was a US Citizen?

What these people fal to comprehend is that a US Citizen gave birth to the man, therefore he is a natural born citzen no matter where he was born.

Not really. Watada didn't base his case on Bush's eligibility to be CinC but rather on the legality of the war in Iraq itself.

Of course it's not the same exact thing, hj.

Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly his motivation.

Like it or not he's the C in C until he ain't. Deal.

There's much debate on that. It would have to be a court ruling I think, probably all the way up to the SCOTUS. The Constitution isn't really all that clear in this regard, as it applies to the CinC.

Soldier: Obama not U.S. born, can't send me to Afghanistan

That's going to be tough to prove. Now if he said he wasn't going to Afghanistan because Obama is an idiot, that we could believe.

Either way it's one military career shot to hell.

Actually it is. It clearly states "natural born citizen." The citizenship clause of the 14th amendment (secton 1, clause 1) allows that all children born to US Citizens has a natural birthright to US Citizenship.

I rather suspect that's what will happen. It will come out, and nothing will come of it.

How do you prove perjury? He has a Hawaii birth certificate.

It's hardly clear if the Framers meant "on our soil" or not. Interesting article here: Natural born citizen of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yeah, they enlisted and this is the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. In the end, neither wants to go for whatever reason, but certainly not the reasons given by their lawyers.

What the hell does the Framer's intent have to do with anything? We have SCOTUS rulings. Two of them. Elk v. Wilkins and United States v. Wong Kim Ark.

These two rulings outlined who qualifes and who does not.

These people qualify:

-Children born to U.S. citizens

-Children born to aliens who are lawfully inside the United States who intend to obey its laws

Obama qualifies under the bolded part, no matter what the geography is.
