It's an oath of loyalty to (assuming you refer to the president's oath of office) the Constitution as well as the nation. If a president violates his oath, he/she can be impeached, and convicted of treason.

The purpose of an oath is to declare something or a promise. Also to say your going to do something and you do. An oath is almost like a document used to hold promises.
