Dig deeper. Trump can do something the generals cannot do. It's called pardon. |

The NSA and CJCS have an unofficial link between POTUS and the biscuit. Assuming a worst case in which the President flies in a rage and demands a preemptive nuclear strike, those two guys get to bring Pence and the cabinet in. If the group can't calm the Prez down and doesn't agree with his decision, the XXV Amendment can be invoked on the spot. This ^^^ all sounds like a Hollywood movie but it has been a frequent topic of quiet discussion in the White House Mess and elsewhere since the "Rocket Man" business began weeks ago. The White House is ready for the emergency. |

No, they would be dead. No application to speak of. |

"if President Trump issues an order to nuke North Korea to SecDef Mattis, who relays it to you directly or through subordinate commands, it is, by law and definition, a "legal order". Period. Full stop. If possession of your obviously hypertrophied mangina will not permit you to carry out such a lawful order from your commander in chief, or there is any possibility that you might be inclined to refuse it, you should resign immediately. Leaving your tunic and trousers behind, and whacking yourself over the head with a stick while shouting, as you leave the Pentagon semi-naked, and proceed to your POV to drive home "I'm a xxxxing pussy and a pale excuse for manhood!" is entirely optional, but clearly indicated. If you'd like, I'm pretty sure suitable MPs can be found to assist you in the latter if you find yourself incapable of that act as well, you cowardly dickless bastard." "In the meantime, having indicated your tendency and intention to mutiny on impetus of personal whimsy, particularly in the control or use of nuclear weapons, the holy grail of why you even have a job, your statements should be a clear call for the General of the Air Force, Secretary of the Air Force, and Secretary of Defense to relieve you from your post immediately under both common sense, and the long-standing guidelines of the Personal Reliability Program governing nuclear weapons going back decades and decades (maybe you've heard of them?), and also institute immediate investigation in support of accelerated general court-martial proceedings for your flagrant and public violations of Articles 88, 92, 98, 104, 133, and 134 of the Uniform Code Of Military Justice. (That means your next thirty or so years of federal service will be in command of a mop at Leavenworth Military Correctional Facility, you jet-fuel genius. If the USAF can manage to get your skill assessment right with one more bite at that apple. Seeing how your retarded sisters at the sister service have handled similar black-letter law violations of the UCMJ by communist 2LT Spenser Rapone, USA, I give the USAF 30/70 odds on that, but they deserve at least the bare chance to try.)" http://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/2017/11/acording-to-prophecy.html Edited by Alt Right PEPE, Nov 21 2017, 06:09 PM.

Discussion of the topic has been based on two separate paths: first is the chain-of-command from POTUS as Commander-in-Chief. This one is pretty straightforward and the illegal order objection is likely to be brushed aside. BOOM! The second, is an emergency cabinet meeting invoking the XXV Amendment. This path does not have the traditional problems in the military associated with an illegal order. It is direct, based on the constitution and can be settled right in the room right away. We know that Pence has been briefed on his leadership role under the XXV and the necessary communication chains are already in place. Trump may be nuts but he isn't going to blow the world unless Pence and the cabinet give him the thumbs up. |

I'm sure that the "Manchurian Candidate" John McCain will demand to have a part in the "Seven Days In May" that Aligator dreams of......... |
