that I will support and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; --- "

Every citizen of the USA in effect has sworn that:
"--- I will support and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; --- ".
