The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
Not that it means a tinker's fart to a dim. Witness how they take an oath before they testify to Congress, and then blandly lie and dodge when questioned and quoted.
It’s just maddening. They are never prosecuted for that. Why not? My brother, whom I loved, was convinced there is no legal basis for prosecuting a violation of that oath. He is/was a true patriot.
Can you find any legal code attaching to actual prosecution and viloation? It’s like chasing a ghost.
The law seems to say you need to take the oath, but is short on consequences and procedure for viloations.
My hope is that some legal minds will chime in here to give support to my brother’s point of view so we together can question it.
