This is the Oath of Office for the United States Senate, not military enlistment or appointment.

Very curious, Q.

Senate was the target

Oath of Office

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

How many traitors walk those halls, anon wonders? If 49 or more were indicted, the Senate couldn't open. Constitutional Crisis.

Quorum

Article I, section 5 of the Constitution requires that a quorum (51 senators) be present for the Senate to conduct business. Often, fewer than 51 senators are present on the floor, but the Senate presumes a quorum unless a roll call vote or quorum call suggests otherwise.

This Oath seems to apply to Members of Congress, generally, not just the Senate.

It is almost the exact same oath as for the VP, except the words "(or affirm)" are added to the Congressional Oath.

Presidential Oath Article II, Section I, Clause 8

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Vice Presidential Oath

"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same: that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

Members of Congress Oath

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."

Supreme Court Justices Title 28, Chapter I, Part 453 of the United States Code

"I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.''

Oath of Office facts and figures:

*The original oath for members of Congress included the words, "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States." The oath was revised during the Civil War, when members of Congress were concerned about traitors.

*In 2009, when Chief Justice John Roberts swore in President Barack Obama at his first inauguration, the Chief Justice made a small mistake in reciting the oath; the next day, the oath was privately administered without incident.

Anon keeps finding errors in original assessment.

This Oath does apply also to Military Officers. It's also known as the United States Uniformed Services Oath of Office.
