A federal hearing has been scheduled in the case of an Army captain seeking to avoid deployment based on arguments that President Barack Obama can’t legitimately hold office.
A hearing for Capt. Connie Rhodes is set for 2 p.m. Friday, court records show. Rhodes claims the president is “an illegal usurper” and “an unlawful pretender” and that she cannot lawfully act under his authority. Defendants include Obama, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Col. Thomas MacDonald, Fort Benning garrison commander.
Rhodes seeks to stop Gates, MacDonald and others from giving her and others until Obama’s citizenship status is established, her complaint states. She also seeks conscientious objector status based on her doubts of Obama’s legitimacy.
