We need to become exceeding clear on the meaning of the different oaths taken by elected persons, military officers, and enlisted military. There are subtle but incredibly important to understand. The urgency to become informed is because of Obama's convoluted constitutional views.
The Constitution mandates that the President elect take this oath.
"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."
George Washington added the words, “so help me God”. All Presidents since have added those words.
A statute requires representatives in Congress to take this oath. A statute means lawyers wrote it as if you couldn’t tell.
”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.
A statute also requires Commissioned military personnel to take an oath.
"I solemnly swear, 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: So help me God."
The oath for enlisted military personnel repeats the preceding affirmation, “I solemnly swear, 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,"
and concludes with,
"I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
The subtle distinction between officer oath and enlisted oath is that officers are bound to disobey any order that violates our Constitution, while enlisted personnel are bound to obey only lawful orders.
A military officer is not bound to follow unconstitutional orders from the Commandeer-in-Chief.
Stop and reflect a moment. Every president takes an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Should we settle for anything less?
The enlisted oath creates a conflict; who ever expected a President of the United States to be the prime domestic enemy?
“I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”
This is why it doesn’t matter whether Obama is natural born citizen.
Enlisted men are bound by the same thing. Unlawful orders will not be obeyed.
The “Nurmberg Defense” cant be used anymore.
