Is an oath of office binding?

[AlanM]

I've been researching oaths that people swear to. Specifically oaths of office for politicians, the military oaths taken by officers and enlisted, oaths of state, county, city officials and law enforcement personal.

The shortest oath I've found is the US Presidential oath of office.

"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."

I posed a version of this question on Quora and got response that basically said that the oath is binding but then felt that the politician that violated their oath could be indicted under violation of color of the law.

Just today I found this in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_office

"Under the laws of a state, it may be considered treason or a high crime to betray a sworn oath of office."
HOWEVER that site covers laws of other countries and the state mentioned refers to a country.

Now, that being where I'm coming from, here's my question/proposal.

I feel that politicians that swear an oath of office with wording similar to the Presidential Oath that vote to enact laws that violate the Second Amendment of the US Constitution should be brought up on charges.

Barring that, at least the individual should be informed of our opinion and that we will flood all possible media prior to their re-election bid indicating their violation of their oath.

I'm asking here to get a discussion started. I'd like to see this go nation wide.

I think you are 100% correct
Until midterms 2022 nothing would get done on the legal aspect , but it needs to get started now in order for it to be after the midterms .
IMO a copy of your thread would be great for Gun Owners Of America to see and get their opinion
For what I have heard others say what could happen after midterms this would be more fuel for the fire

but so many politicians say what their proposals do not go against the Constitution.

I have heard many say banning high cap mags does not violate the 2nd amendment.
or banning AR15's. in any case the courts would have to get involved and define what actually
does the 2nd amendment protect.
The right to own a firearm or the right to own a specific types of firearms. this is the tactic of the left.
they want to use the court to define specifics.
