Do the officials in the gov't actually sign an oath swearing to uphold the Constitution and if so, are copies of these publicly available, and how do I go about acquiring them?


I'd like to send/present copies of my representatives' own oaths to themselves with a letter and copies to the local media.

Do you have any evidence that they give a damn?

No, but that's the entire point of also approaching the local media with the documents.

I have been running into many people that are at least talking about the Constitution, and the officials' signed oaths are yet another tool I could use to inform people of the representatives' breach of contract they voluntarily entered into.
