One thing that a lot of Congressmen have forgotten is that God does expect oaths to be kept. If the POTUS believes that the mumble-stumble through the oath of office thus absolves him of such a responsibility, then he will not like it when he finds God to be judging him on the oath anyhow . . .
I agree - what if we added public caining?
HOORAY South Carolina state Rep. Bill Chumley! 10th amendment vs. TOTALITARIANS BUMP!
Bump
Thank you Representative for doing what you swore you would. You should be joined by all the others. Sadly that won’t happen but one man can make a difference!
it is South Carolina in the War Between the States firing at the federals - Fort Sumter - States Rights. Note to self other Congress Critters at the Federal level are afraid of Odumbo The Good Ole Boys Club prevails in DC. End the Good Ole Boys Club
One wonders that this include those voting Obamacare into law? If so I can’t wait until Jim Clyburn is behind bars.
That is probably why they now may swear or affirm.
