Martin Lewis a contributor of Huffingtonpost says that General Pace should lead a coup against President Bush
Martin Lewis: General Pace, You Can Save the US - by Arresting Bush for "Conduct Unbecoming" - Politics on The Huffington Post
Citing justification in the UCMJ he claims that removing Bush from duties as Commander in Chief is not an illegal act, insurrection, mutiny, putsch or military coup.
The Constitution gives the President the unambiguous role as Commander in Chief. The UCMJ does not trump the Constitution.
I think Mr. Lewis ,who's bio indicates that the he makes his bread and butter in the entertainment industry ,and who's name invokes the comedy of the great Martin and Lewis team;should at least bone up on the Constitution before he makes such an absurd proposal . Hint... only Congress can remove the President from office.
I honestly and sincerely hope that his column is a tongue in cheek attempt to get moonbats braying and that he is not serious. Judging from the comments to the column I have to get the Huffpo readers kudos... Even they see the absurdity in his proposal
