What is the text of the oath of office of the Vice President of the US?
The Vice President has a different Oath of Office than the President. The Vice President's Oath of office does not come from the Constitution rather it comes from a law passed by congress.
Here is the text:
"I, (Vice President's name), do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully execute the duties of the office on which I am about to embark. So help me God."
This is how Nixon said it.
However, Gore said the last line this way "...faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."
