As many observe, an oath just ain’t what it used to be, especially when talking about democrats and muslims.

I respectfully suggest that a much more useful amendment would require one or both of the following measures:
1. You must be a taxpayer to vote. It is an intractable conflict of interest to be a person receiving government largesse and voting for people who can redistribute wealth. This would not apply to physically disabled persons or recipients of social security retirement benefits.

2. You must pass a civic competency examination. Next to government dependency, ignorance is the next great enemy of responsible voting. An astonishing number of people have no concept of how the government operates, where government revenue comes from or what are the founding principles of the country. Absent this basic information, it is impossible to make an informed decision about voting, as reflected by the election of such completely unqualified people as Obama and Clinton. Besides lack of experience, Obama seems to have been elected on nothing more than celebrity. Clinton had a limited, crappy record, a saxophone and his ability to “feel our pain” to recommend him. Nothing but a stupid, ignorant populous can explain their electoral success.

Well said.

The argument I am trying to make is ?

What are some other solutions do we have to make sure those who have a true loyalty to the United States and our Constitution can vote or be involved in our election process ?
We don't want outsiders voting or involved in our voting process.
We don't want anyone who does not have love of our country and loyalty to the US Constitution voting or involved in our election process.
