“I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
The oath precludes loyalty to the president over the constitution. Each of Trump’s nominees should be grilled to affirm loyalty to the Constitution over any order that violates their oath. I doubt Trump has any such loyalty to the Constitution and expects loyalty only to him.
