Congressional Oath of Office

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.

Presidential Oath of Office

“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.”

Dear ‘wannabe’ Leader DJT and his attorneys are arguing that the Presidents oath of office does not state to support the constitution so, the mere fact that he tried to overturn it doesn’t disqualify him from running for President again. My, not a lawyer, question is how can someone swear to preserve, protect, and defend something without supporting it? It is all semantics and word play kinda like saying I will play by the rules then cheating with the argument that you never said you wouldn’t cheat. Although this appears to me to be a flimsy claim as Colorado Judge has judged that DJT can be on the ballot in Colorado because the 14^th Amendment grammatically doesn’t apply to the President because his oath is not to support but preserve the constitution.

Wow I would except the weak argument from my kid much less the guy who wants to, once again, sit in the White House. I say sit in because he has no intention of running the government, he didn’t last time he was there and won’t if he happens to regain the position.

The other claim they are making is that the President is not an officer of the government. How does that work? Wouldn’t President be the chief officer of the government… the President is called the Commander in Chief. Doesn’t one have to be an officer of an organization in order to be its chief? Once again these seem like really elementary assumptions. The other minor fact that I would like to throw in DJT and his counsel face is that Donny asserted that he was an officer of the government when he made derogatory comment about E. Jean Carroll so that the DOJ would defend him.

Stop letting this clown and his attorneys use kindergarten arguments, the GOP House wouldn’t let Bill Clinton get away with arguing, “it depends on what you define is, is”, they still impeach him over a BJ. We have to shut this reality show down and get on with running the government and improving the lives of the citizens of this country instead of humoring a buffoon who wants to be the Dictator in Chief.

Thanks for putting up with my abuse of language today,
