The 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'
Meet the Press, May 4, 2025:
Kristen Welker: Your secretary of state says
everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens,
deserve due process. Do you agree, Mr President?
Pres Trump: I don't know. I'm not, I'm not a lawyer.
I don't know.
Kristen Welker: Well, the Fifth Amendment
says as much.
Pres Trump: I don't know. It seems -
it might say that, but if you're talking
about that, we'd have a million or 2 million
or 3 million trials.
Kristen Welker: But even given those numbers
that you're talking about, don't you need to
uphold the Constitution of the United States
as President?
Pres Trump: I don't know. I have to respond
by saying, again, I have brilliant lawyers that
work for me, and they are going to obviously
follow what the Supreme Court said. What you
said is not what I heard the Supreme Court said.
They have a different interpretation.
What is there to say?
