Oathbreaker

It had been my hope; this day would not come. Yet, here we are, 13 days into a 2nd Trump Presidency. 

The first time around I called upon citizens to unify and support our new President.  This time, I know he is out to enrich himself and utilize all the resources of the U.S. and the authority of the Presidency to do so.

January 20th at 12n eastern time the oath of office was administered to Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States. That oath has the party to whom it is administered state, in part, they will "...preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

The day had not ended when he broke his oath. By executive order, he acted to expressly violate the 14th amendment. In fact, not only to violate but to eliminate the right/protection it extends to every American born or naturalized in the United States. According to the Executive Order signed by him on the day of his inauguration, January 20, 2025, "Sec. 2.  Policy.  (a)  It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons:  (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth."

I don't have any particular beef with amending the Constitution.  There are already 27 amendments. However, executive fiat is not the manner by which those amendments have been ratified. There is no perspective by which any action of this sort is preserving, protecting, or defending the Constitution of the United States.

Whaduyathink?
