Part 3 to Question: are you in the wrong country?

In part 3 of this series, I simply wish to give a brief explanation. The oath of defending the United States Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic is taken by U.S. officials (civil, military, and naturalized citizens). This is basically about pledging loyalty to the Constitution.

The President takes this oath during the inauguration, in which the left hand is placed over the Bible and the right hand is raised. The Supreme Court Chief Justice normally guides in the ceremony. Again, United States Officials (civil, military, and naturalized citizens) take this oath. Naturalized citizens take an oath which Jus Soli citizens do not.

Who are the enemies foreign and domestic? An enemy is a person or a nation who is actively opposed or hostile. Recently, Maduro was captured in Venezuela by U.S. military and brought to await trial in prison in the United States. He would obviously be considered a foreign enemy. Timothy McVeigh was an American responsible for the Oklahoma City bombing in April of 1995. Mr. McVeigh was considered a domestic terrorist. I provided two examples of enemies, foreign and domestic. Regardless of how this oath is interpreted, those taking it tend to honor it very seriously. 

I will close by repeating what I said in the first post. The United States was created on the land which it currently exists by European settlers who created a legal document for all its dwellers to abide by as the law of the land. By the way, that document is the United States Constitution, which was the first of its type in the entire world.
