Who is one swearing to? Witnesses, God?

What about the Oath of Citizenship? If it’s not binding, then what’s the point?

Sorry for the questions. I don’t mean to hijack.

What about the oath of military service?

Those are good and thoughtful questions. No hijack there.

We live in a fallen world with a battle of consciences, or lack thereof.

Every fallen soul has a hunger for power, and so can easily abuse an oath.

>>What about Oath of Citizenship?

I do know that the oath of US naturalization is ceremonial only per about four SCOTUS rulings since around 1820.

SCOTUS stated that it was up to congress to make the oath binding…which has never happened.

*FR Class a few years ago with all the SCOTUS cases; and there was homework.
