The Oath of Office

In search of freedom

Our Constitutional Democratic Republic is protected and the fiduciary representation of American citizens is assured when officials fully honor, both in principle and in spirit, the oaths that they take to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.  Our nation is in crisis because, although these oaths are sworn, they are often not kept. Indeed, the actions taken after the office is assumed indicate that “purpose of evasion” has indeed occurred, despite the swearing otherwise. Deceptions and subterfuge by officials must not be tolerated by the public.  Every American needs to know our Constitution, to know these oaths, and hold every official endowed with the public trust accountable for all actions that violate Constitutional principles.

In accordance with Article II, Section 1. of the Constitution of the United States of America, the Presidential Oath of Office is as  follows:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm)that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

For Congress: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

The Federal Judiciary: I do solemnly swear that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”

And further:

“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

The United States Military: “I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
