Oath of Office

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

Every U. S. Senator take the above oath upon entering office. This his sole and solemn duty to the people of he United Stats. There is nothing else included. He has no requirement to follow the dictates of a political party and he has no duty, especially to express fealty to the President. His only sworn loyalty is to the law of the land, the Constitution of the United States.

When a senator, or any other elected official, supports a president who defies and thwarts the Constitution, that person has violated his oath of office. If his oath demands that he “support and defends the constitution, and he supports a chief executive who defies the constitution he has broken his oath. There is no higher crime than breaking a solemn oath.

The Neanderthal Republican senators, who persist in supporting the greatest scofflaw the history of the presidency, are no better than he and a distinct disservice to the country.When I was in the Army, each officer received an annual efficiency rating. When that time came for my officers, each was required to renew his oath of office (Identical to the one above) so he would realize where his duty and responsibilities lay.)

Perhaps some of our mossback senators should also be reminded to what they have sworn their allegiance, and the solemn oath they live under.
