Is the question of Obama's eligibility nonsense or a fundamental Constitutional question?

A courageous Army officer is being court martialed because he is asking the president to do what every member of the military MUST do -- provide their long form birth certificate and their records: both educational and medical. Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin is a career medical officer and decorated war hero. He has served 18 years in the Army and been deployed on foreign soil six times.

He is being court martialed for disobeying a "lawful" order to report for a second tour of duty in Afghanistan. Officer Lakin loves this country and he will pay a huge price if he loses this case. He will lose his pension, be stripped of all his decorations, be dishonorably discharged, and possibly be imprisoned. Does anyone really believe this patriot is doing it on a whim? No. He believes in the Constitution and wants, no demands, that it be upheld.

Congress investigated the Constitutional eligibility of John McCain who was born in the Panama Canal Zone. They did not investigate the Constitutional eligibility of Barack Obama. Why not? The Democratic National Committee confirmed his eligibility based on .... nothing.
