What if the President is taking down America?
Does a soldier support the President, when he / she is the enemy?
What determines a domestic enemy against the United States?
Is our President upholding his own oath of office?


 Presidents oath  or affirmation:  The text, as set down in Article II, Section 1, of the US Constitution, reads:

 "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,

 oath]
Question ?

What part of "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" does this president not understand?
