All presidents take an oath to uphold and defend the constitution. This began with our first president, George Washington. It is not referred to as a vow, although it is a promise that the new president makes. Here is the entire oath: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

To support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, to protect the United States from all enemies, both foreign and domestic, and to uphold the orders given to them by the Commander in Chief, the President of the United States of America.
The promise made to uphold the US Constitution is known as the Oath of the Office of the President of the United States. This oath is taken every year at the swearing in ceremony of the president following their election or re-election.
The incoming US President must swear to uphold the US Constitution.Oath of Office: Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath of affirmation: --"I do so solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."[Article 2, Section 1, Clause 8; of the U.S. Constitution]
Jackson did uphold his oath of office as defined in Article II Section I. He was the 7th President of the United States from 1829 until 1837.
The constitution is the highest law of the US; the entire legal and organizational structure of the United States depends upon the constitution. Another way of putting it is, the constitution is the basic agreement by means of which the country of the United States was created. Hence, the highest duty of the President is to defend the constitution. That is what the President is elected to do.
It means that he has taken the "Oath of Office", binding him to the duties and standards of the presidency. The oath includes the phrase, "I do solemnly swear" -- "sworn is the past-tense of swear" so after he takes the oath, he has sworn to do his duty and so has been sworn in to office.
There is no chief executive of the United States Constitution. If you are asking who is supposed to uphold the Constitution and make sure it is followed, that would be the President of the U.S. and the Congress (Senate and House of Representatives). I believe they all take oaths when they are sworn in to uphold it.
