Not all Americans take an oath of citizenship. People born in the U.S. are not required to take any such oath.
People who are born in US and to US citizen parents are US citizens by birth. People who go through the naturalization process get their naturalization certificate only once they take the oath of Allegiance and only then are a US citizen. Its a promise to perform civilian duties of "national importance" which is most important right and duty as a US citizen. You should keep the promise by being a law abiding citizen and importantly vote during election and not perform any act which will effect security of the nation.

∙ 10y agoThe oath is to be sure they are serious about wanting to be citizens. A new citizen must renounce loyalty to any other country, defend the US Constitution and laws, and be willing to take up arms to protect the country if needed.
Here is the oath they swear:
I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God

Must the Presidential oath of office be given at a specific day and time?
There is no constitutional mandate for the U.S. Presidential oath of office to be given on any particular day or time. The modern consensus (again, not constitutionally mandated) is that the previous President is, technically, no longer in power, as of midnight on the given day the oath of office is to be given to the new President (even if it's the same person), and that noon of that day is the time the new President will be given the oath. As soon as the new President has completed the oath, he is, technically speaking, granted all the powers of that office.
