Duty to Defend the Constitution and Democracy

 


What is the duty of all federal government employees in all three branches, the executive, legislative and judicial?


Each employee, including judgesswears an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies domestic and foreign (See Oath of Office below).


The oath, as stated in law 5 U.S. Code § 3331, is as follows:


“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.”



This means as a part of their sworn oath as public servants their duty or job and loyalty is to defend the Constitution and democracy, not to any one leader or tribe. 


Violations and destruction against the Constitution and democracy is treason.
