The national governemt is one of limited and enumerated powers. All the powers of the federal government are enumerated in the Constitution. Where is that power enumerated?

The 14th Amendment was ratified over 140 years ago. If that amendment was understood and intended to outlaw the practice of abortion and the power to enforce that prohibition given to the national government by the States, it would have been outlawed then, and enforcement procedures established.

To say that the oath-taker does not have the legitimate authority to fulfill the primary purpose of his office is to make a complete mockery of the oath, and ultimately, to completely negate the Constitution.
