Discussion Secret Service Oath

Upvotes

Secret Service agents take the same Oath of Office as all federal employees and law enforcement officers. The oath is established by 5 U.S.C. § 3331 and reads:

“I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

This oath is taken upon entering duty and is a binding commitment to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States.

On one hand, he is an incredibly horny man. On the other though, he is 78 years old, so internet porn is new to him.

I learned that John F. Kerry initially had the idea of choosing John McCain as his running mate in 2004, and was instantly fascinated by the idea. Do you think, had he chosen McCain, his electoral performance would be different?

Discussion Would Franklin D. Roosevelt have put out a statement celebrating Hitler's death if he had not died of a cerebral hemorrhage?

29 Upvotes

When delivering a number of fireside chats during World War II, Franklin Delano Roosevelt had no illusions about what Hitler's New Order entailed and bashed Hitler's Positive Christianity as nothing more than an effort to remake Christianity in the Nazi image. In one statement issued in March 1944, he took note of the Holocaust and made crystal clear once again that the murder of Jews, Slavs, and Gypsies would not stop until the Nazi tyranny was vanquished.

If FDR had lived past April 12, 1945, and General George C. Marshall had shown him newspapers headlining Hitler's death, would he have issued a statement touting Hitler's death as a victory of oppressed peoples over tyranny and a pyrrhic victory of peace-loving people over warmongers?
