Presidential Oath of Office. "preserve, protect, and defend "
Edited on Sat Sep-30-06 12:19 PM by kansasblue
The Presidential Oath of Office

The oath to be taken by the president on first entering office is specified in Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution:


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.


Just a review. Seems clear that protecting the Constitution is the top priority.

1. And what happens when you hire someone to do a job and they fail?
Bush totally disregards his obligations to the american people, he's let this daddy thing effect whatever is left of his brain!

2. But...but...but...Bush's job is to protect the 'Murkan people. He's gonna
do that with all of the tools available. If that means gettin' rid of that piece of paper, then that's what he'll do.

He is, after all, a war time president. For him to do his war time presidentin'...that ol' piece of paper has got to go.
