The pledge
to support and defend the U.S. Constitution.
Wikipedia
< allegiance to the United States Constitution,
< renunciation of allegiance to any foreign country to which the immigrant has had previous allegiances
< defense of the Constitution against enemies "foreign and domestic"
< promise to serve in the United States Armed Forces when required by law (either combat or non-combat)
< promise to perform civilian duties of "national importance" when required by law
The current oath is as follows:
I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.[2]
8 C.F.R. 337.1 provides that the phrase "so help me God" is optional and that the words ‘on oath’ can be substituted with ‘and solemnly affirm’.
Accomplished by:
<< Federal Executive and Legislative Branch.
<< U.S. Federal Judiciary.
<< Military Oaths – Federal and State.
