   Hello Dan,   
      
   >LL>The wordings of the current oath of enlistment and oath for   
   >LL>commissioned officers are as follows:   
   >   
   >Actually, the oath of office is slightly different:   
   >   
   >"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."   
   >   
   >(You can omit the "so help me god" part if you want.)   
      
   In both, the Constitution is listed first in their oath.   
      
   Commander-in-Chief is a military rank. The president is C-in-C.   
   As such, he can be held accountable for his actions under the Code   
   of Military Justice. At least in theory.   
      
   >Whenever I did someone's reenlistment, I would ask them   
   >ahead of time whether they wanted to swear or affirm and   
   >whether they wanted the god part.   
      
   Did you allow them to hold a bible upside down? What Trump did   
   many consider sacrilegious - ordered active military to open fire   
   on peaceful, nonviolent protesters (including women and children)   
   so he could create a photo-op for himself in front of a church,   
   and later at a religious shrine, both places uninvited. While   
   in front of the church, he held a bible upside down while making   
   insane remarks about "law and order", despite all the chaos he   
   himself had created.   
      
   What he did was clearly unconstitutional, and possibly illegal.   
   But he will never apologize for any of his actions, no matter how   
   reprehensible or despicable they may be.
