Does choosing the OR option on a crisis skip the skill check, and who makes the choice?

The rulebook answers this in "Skill Checks", and players agree.

Yes. The OR option is an alternative to the skill check, not an add-on. The player named on the card (current player, President or Admiral) picks one: the lower text with no check, or the skill check. Once the check is taken, the OR option is no longer available. A normal check adds Destiny cards, so it can pass even if no one contributes.
