Similar to the requirements that millions of modestly paid workers must repeatedly prove drug-free while Congressmen are apparently exempt from such mundane rules.
Hmmm, -- you find our naturalization oath repugnant.
I repeat, -- I think it should be mandatory for all citizens, prior to them first exercising their right to vote.
No oath, no vote.
Again,these people had a choice to come here or not;a person born here has no such choice.
They would have a choice. Swear the oath above, or no vote. They would retain all other rights of citizenship.
But a person born here is assumed to be loyal because of his birth,neither has a person born here a natural allegiance to any foriegn entity which would need to be foresworn. Additionally,the person swearing the oath to the U.S. and renouncing his earlier oath may be considered a traitor by his former nation. The Bible tells us not to swear oaths because we have not the power to so much as change the color of one hair on our own head. Refusal to swear your oaths does not automatically mean the person is intending to do you harm.
I notice you failed to address the impressment question,probably because to do so conflicts with your idea of forced service.
I gave no proposal for "forced service". Try reading my first posts here on the issue.
Is it that forced service for the causes you support is a good thing but forced service for causes you oppose is a bad thing?
Dream on that I've proposed "forced service". I fully support the principle of a volunteer military.
It seems the members of Congress and the federal gov't place little value on their own oaths of office based on a half century of viewing them weaken the Constitution, U.S. economy and defense.

Do you have some point to make in the last two comments?
