jtdesigns Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yes.. I agree. I just wish him the best. He is our Commander In Chief, so I will stand behind him. I made a oath long time ago which if I ever faulted on would make me (in my eyes) lower then the hip-hop hommies who made the rap.. I agree to a point, but I'm curious what oath that would be? The Military one that says "protect against all enemies, foreign and domestic?" If so, could not the President become an enemy of the US after being elected? Don't get me wrong, I don't think President Obama is our enemy, but something to think about. That oath is not to any one man. Although if we think he is good enough to fight for our country, I think he should be able to choose who tells him what to do. i.e. vote for President. I disagree. I think that only citizens should be allowed to vote and our laws have always supported that concept. If you want to vote here, become a naturalized citizen. The shame is that half of the people who COULD vote here, do not take the time to do so. As the law stands now, only citizens are allowed to vote. Get enough people to say otherwise who are also citizens, and we could change it. That's one nice thing about the US, that we can change the laws if enough citizens want to (at least in theory, getting it done is another thing). I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. I don't think hes the anticrist or anything.. enemy.... nah. I mean hes our president.. I didnt vote for him, but hes still the pres.. I can only wish he does his best to correct this countries issues.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently looking for the annotated copy I just bought, but I believe that changing that would require a constitutional amendment. I am pretty sure that who, when, and how are all part of the constitution. Not that it cannot be changed, it just got much harder to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpackjeeper Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 and actually, I believe it should be much harder to pass ANY law. It should be very easy to say no, and very hard to say yes and pass any bill. This would ensure that the bulk of the country is behind it. Requiring more people to say yes in order for it to pass would get you past some of the deal making in congress I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy in Maine Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Just who has been allowed to vote has been amended numerous times in the history of our country. Currently it is just US Citizens.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_rig ... ted_States Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't ever been in the military, so I wasn't familiar with that particular oath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
