WASHINGTON-- The citizenship oath, which requires immigrants to renounce loyalty to "princes and potentates," is getting a makeover after a half-century. "It's being recrafted so it has more meaning to those who are raising their right hand and swearing," the oath, said Eduardo Aguirre Jr., director of Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Homeland Security Department. The new oath will be made public on Sept. 17, on citizenship day.
