The Presidential Oath of Office

[pstans]

I found this over at Demspeak. http://demspeak.com/?q=node/999

The presidential oath of office:

"I do solemnly swear 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."

That's it. That is the only promise you have to make as President.

He broke his oath. He broke his vow. He broke his promise. He failed to meet the one actual requirement of his job.

1. elected officials dont sign their Oath.. that is how they can resign and

not go to jail.

if they dont sign it then they are just impersonating a president, senator, judge etc and it is a only misdemeanor..

3. I signed paperwork

when I was appointed to the city council in our town. I also evidently took the federal oath of office, which I have since thought was kind of interesting...

4. He can still be impeached for breaking the sworn oath.

2. MP3 of Bush in 2001 saying the Presidential Oath

After getting appointed, he lied the minute he got into office. Literally.

5. Bush consistently says his first job is to defend the country.

That's not what the oath says. He is obsessed with playing the military hero and manipulating the public with this role-playing.

He is a pathetic human being.

6. Also, please note the lack of a reference to the big Sky Chief

So much for the preservation stuff, huh?
