What is the oath of office of the president?

The Oath of Office: "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." "Affirm" has been used only once, by President Franklin Pierce; most Presidents also end the Oath by saying "So help me God", but that's not really part of the Oath, and the practice was started some time in the late 1800s. Also, since 1933, every president has added their name into the Oath (i.e., "I, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, do solemnly swear...").

1. a judge in NY failed to file oath of duty with the secretary of state 2. However he filed such with the NY state court administration. Question is his office vacant or he is protected by 2?

The office is vacant as the requirement for an oath being filed is that it needs to appear in ALL the designated offices called for by law. For a Town Court Judge this is with the Town, County and the Office of Court Administration. Look to the requirement as the oath often needs to appear in more than one office. jimveda37@yahoo.com
