                    The oaths or affirmations required by the Constitution

                    I, A---- B---- 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. (5 U.S.C. 3331.)
