President must uphold oath to defend US Constitution

To: Rep. Self, Sen. Cruz, Sen. Cornyn

From: A constituent in Princeton, TX

May 5

The president's oath to uphold the Constitution is a solemn duty, not a choice. By stating he does not know if it is his job to defend the founding document, Trump disregards his core responsibility. Refusing to follow the Constitution erodes democracy's foundation. We urge reconsideration of this alarming stance that undermines the office's integrity. The Constitution protects all people's rights and establishes checks and balances - principles the president must champion, not dismiss. Upholding the Constitution is a president's paramount obligation. Ignoring this oath imperils our nation's values and system of government. A firm commitment to honoring the Constitution is essential for preserving freedom and the rule of law.
