I have administered it to my employees and taken it many times in the past...

I 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.


Religious references can be substituted and the "So help me..." part has an alternative statement for those who are not religious.

There have been numerous times when I have reminded politicians holding office of their oath of office, they were not pleased.

However, that didn't mean that they wanted me to storm a distant wildlife refuge and take it back for the American people.

I'm pretty sure the FBI will take care of this one.
