oh please, this is utter nonsense. There is no “oath” provision in the constitution for taking office. If he did nothing he would still automatically be president.

This is just tinfoil hat stuff.

“constitutional experts”? given the rubberstamp quality of law school education, that does not say much.

“.....The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the United States, or any of them.

Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation:

{page image}

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) 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.”


I am confused. Am I missing something?
(Only addressing the oath provsion. The issue itself is a red herring thrown out by the left, IMO)
