2. The enlistee oath differs from the officer oath as the latter makes no mention of the president.
3. How many of the 546 people (President, Vice President, Congress, Supreme Court) heading the three branches of government as set forth in the Constitution have not broken these solemn oaths more times than can be counted. Not to forget to mention the millions of other oath binded federal civil servants and employees.
4. Five-hundred and forty-six politicians versus the lives and fortunes of three-hundred and twenty million citizens.
Oaths are fer suckers!
