    I think you can make an argument that if you preserve and protect something, you’re supporting it.

    But the real issue, to me, is that no one takes an oath specifically to “support” the constitution. If the presidential oath isn’t an example of supporting it, then Article Ii makes no sense at all - why would it even be there?

        Sure, I had no clue that the military oath included “support.”

        Would be a stretch to say that article II of the Constitution was only intended to apply to the military.

          Here is what you said with confidence:

          “But the real issue, to me, is that no one takes an oath specifically to “support” the constitution. “

          Then you ignored several people who pointed out that you were wrong.

          Then you responded that you had no clue.
