Report

The Officer's Oath of Office has its roots in the First Congress of the United States. The oath was revised numerous times until the Forty-Eighth Congress passed the current oath into law by the Act of May 13, 1884. The oath, which may be administered by any officer, reads 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."
