“I, A. B., do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I have never
voluntarily borne arms against the United States since
I have been a citizen thereof; that I have voluntarily
given no aid, countenance, counsel, or encouragement to
persons engaged in armed hostility thereto; that I have
neither sought nor accepted nor attempted to exercise the
functions of any office whatever, under any authority or
pretended authority in hostility to the United States; that
I have not yielded a voluntary support to any pretended
government, authority, power, or constitution, within
the United States, hostile or inimical thereto. And I do
further swear (or affirm) that to the best of my knowledge
and ability 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.”
