Article II, Section One, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution states, "Before he enter on the Execution of this Office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will 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."
The United States citizen is blessed beyond measure to live in the nation that has the most superior constitution for protecting it's citizens from governing tyranny in all of the world's history.
Without an intact U.S. Constitution, ALL will eventually see the limits on our government erode and the basic rights of our citizens removed. When casting a vote for the office of President of the United States, it is our duty to set our emotions aside and sober mindedly cast a vote for whom we believe will best PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND the Constitution of the United States. In these United States, the United States Constitution is, and has always been, the only thing that stands between the common citizen and governing tyranny.
Excellent point, Mrs. B. I will also be thinking about who will appoint judges who will uphold the Constitution.

Hi Mrs. B and Laura,
ReplyDeleteI wrote a facebook post today that expressed much of what you both have shared. :) It sounds as if we are thinking along the same lines. Be blessed both of you and I pray that our country will vote in the candidate that will honor and protect our constitution.
Hi Debbie,
DeleteI, too, am praying for our nation and the 2016 elections.
