He says something that affected him profoundly is, “The Oath of Office I took when I put my hand up on July 7, 1981. There was no expiration date on that oath. Even at the age of 18, I realized it was the Constitution, not the man nor the office but that document I was protecting. I still take that oath seriously today.” Phillip understands the U.S. Constitution is not a “living, breathing document” as some try to depict it.
