The Presidential oath: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Military officers' oath, in part: "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

Military enlistment oath, in part: "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

Federal civil service oath, in part: "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

Is it so difficult to understand that insurrection breaks the oath? Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and Stonewall Jackson all took the oath as West Point cadets, then all broke it.
