After months of responding to posts with "He's NEVER going to resign!",

12. and WHO would issue that order?

He would still be potus. NOBODY could legally issue that order but potus himself. No military commander would fire on their own cic without congressional action.

The key here is he absconds but doesn't resign. The constitution doesn't have a provision for that other than impeachment or the 25th amendment.

And we all know the likelihood of the senate going along with either of those, even if he pulls that stunt, which would likely be billed as a troop visit with a last minute change of orders. His plane would be down and he would be taking a golden shower before anyone even put the pieces together.

The press on the plane would simply disappear.

This would be simple. How often does a potus just appear in a war zone? Who knew in advance? All the infrastructure is there to pull this off. No one piece would know the whole plan except a few corrupt travelers.
