                                        OATHS

                The oaths or affirmations required by the Constitution

                                      SENATORS

                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.)
