Nightmare Before Election Day

The Republicans, who are self-described by Grand Old Party held the late SCOTUS Antonin Scalia’s seat vacant for more than a year using a line of reasoning and GOP logic that under our democratic system, American voters deserved a voice at the ballot box. Since the midterm elections are just 50 days away, and following serious allegations of lying under oath, in addition to the new troubling information which has now surfaced by an accuser who passed a lie detector test, then shouldn't US voters be heard?

How long does it take to learn the 35-word job description after a president swears to represent all the people of The USA?

Presidents-elect have taken the oath since the beginning of the republic. George Washington said it in 1789, and the oath has been the centerpiece of presidential inaugurations ever since, symbolizing democratic rule and the peaceful transition of power.

The oath of office comes directly from Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution.
