Oath
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and
fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have
heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of
the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith
and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required
by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States
when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction
when required by the law; and that / take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or
purpose of evasion; so help me God."
1. Why do you think we would ask someone to renounce allegiance to their former
country in order to become a U. S. citizen?
2. Given your knowledge of the constitution, do you feel this oath is fair? Are we
asking anything we do not ask of natural born citizens?
3. There is only one right not granted to naturalized citizens - the right to run for
President of the United States. Why do you think this is so?
