The president of the United States is the chief executive officer who presides over a number of executive branch agencies, including my once proud alma mater, the U.S. Department of Justice. Indeed, the oath of office, which was administered to Donald J. Trump on Jan. 20, 2017, when he ascended to the presidency, is as follows:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
In short, the president took an oath to uphold the laws of the United States, embodied and reflected in our Constitution.
