U.S. Army Doctor Questions Obama’s Authenticity and Refuses Deployment Orders

For one to become a candidate for the highest position in government of the United States of America, he/she should first satisfy various conditions instituted by law. For one, the president should be a native-born US citizen or at least have both parents as U.S. citizens. He/she should also be at least 35 years of age at the time of the election though there is no maximum limit mentioned in the constitution. Finally, the elected president should at least live in mainland U.S. for 14 years though the constitution didn’t define well if it requires consecutive residency or not.

Since the time when President Barack Obama step foot as the president of the United States, there have been many questions and issues with regards to his eligibility most especially to his real birthplace. Pres. Obama along with the state claims that he was born in August 4, 1961 at Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. Despite of these claims, many people are still not convinced that he is indeed born in America.

Just recently, an army doctor has reportedly refused to be deployed in Afghanistan as he questions the authenticity of Pres. Obama’s birth documents. Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin is an 18 year veteran of the U.S. army and is currently serving as a senior physician. Lakin reportedly tagged his deployment order as invalid as his most senior commander-in-chief, being the president, has yet to prove the validity of his birthplace. He also stated that his actions were valid as he questions the eligibility of Pres. Obama in holding the highest position in the U.S.

His claim of Pres. Obama’s ineligibility for Presidency is supported by the fact that state officials have been sealing important documents about Obama. The failure of the U.S. government to present the actual documents has prompted several American citizens to question the real information about the president. Reports also suggest that about 25% of Americans are eager to find out if Obama was really born in the U.S. or not.

As for Lakin, he will eventually face court martial as a consequence for breaking his vow of duty. But his actions indeed opened up a new way of awareness especially with the government hiding a lot of secrets. All citizens of America have the all the right to know about the real truth with regards to their elected president. This issue is a product of the massive degree of secrecy brought by Obama’s administration. If only the government was more transparent and more vocal in informing people about the truth, this controversial issue would have been avoided.
