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."
it's the presidents first speech and they make a commitment to the country in their vows
Election then inauguration.
