Article. II.
Section. 1.
Clause 8: Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"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."
Let's just sit with that one for a while. This is the oath taken by every President of the United States. This is what he (or someday she) promises to do. If you will, it's the job description. Not "the decider" or "the commander guy" or the ignorant twit who keeps trying to "explain" things to us as though we were children--which is just more catapulting the propaganda. And most certainly not to shred the Constitution and trample it. No. The job is to faithfully execute the office and to PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION.
Have we done anything lately to remind our elected representatives that this is the President's job (and part of theirs is to see that he does it)?
