As our enemies have found we can reason like men, so now let us show them we can fight like men also.
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.
Thomas Jefferson

...I will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States...
That is the wording specified in the Constitution.

The constitution has contributed in many ways to the government, including giving the citizens rights, making the government powerful enough to protect the rights of citizens and defend the country against its enemies, and by setting up a federal system.
Well, honey, the President promises to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. It's basically like saying, "I promise not to screw things up too badly and to follow the rules... most of the time." So, buckle up and pray for the best!
