For the record, here is the oath of office for a U.S. Senator:
“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.”
And for a Representative:
“I, (name of Member), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or 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.”
And for a Supreme Court Justice?
“I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or affirm) 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 as [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”
Thanks to Western Rifle Shooters for the info and for their conclusion:
So then why the nonsense in the CNN piece about Oath Keepers not swearing to “…obey the orders of the President of the United States…”?
Because they did not want you or their other viewers to know that only enlisted personnel swear to obey Presidential commands.
Not Federal judges.
Not Representatives.
Not Senators.
Not military officers.
Now you know.
