President Obama is the first and only Commander-in-Chief in the history of the Republic to petition a federal court claiming that allowing the men and women who serve under his command three extra days to vote in-person by absentee ballot is a violation of the United States Constitution.  The former constitutional law professor’s campaign has brought suit and filed a formal legal complaint with a federal judge in the key swing-state of Ohio which asserts that his campaign cannot “discern[]” any “legitimate justification” for giving members of the military extra time to participate in early voting. In that same complaint, the President’s campaign argues at least twenty times that the Ohio legislature had no good reason to extend reasonable voting accommodations to military voters and that the law is unconstitutional
