By virtue of citizenship in a country you are already assumed to have loyalty to it. So regular citizens can commit treason even if they never performed the pledge of allegiance or swore an oath of office. Whether or not the people in office signed an oath has nothing to do with whether or not their actions have been treasonous so this whole topic is a red herring. We look dumber for spending time on it
Yeah. Good luck claiming you never actually took your oath of office to get out of treason charges. If the proof is there, the American public will see to your execution no matter what some lawyer tries to claim as a technicality, or what some judge makes a fool of himself by claiming to uphold it.
Public officials are easier targets due to the oaths. They are trying to make themselves less of a target and assuming that no judge is going to remove them for being "ineligible". Actually, it is a bit of a gamble as any U.S. citizen can file for a Writ of Mandamus for $505 in Federal Circuit Court requesting a court order to instruct any Federal or State official to resign or be arrested for contempt.
Clearly they are playing games with the law here. I agree that any U.S. citizen SHOULD BE prosecutable for treason if they took money from the CCP. Period. But this is unlikely to play out this way in Civil or Criminal Court as Dems, RINOs, and their lawyers have spent 40 plus years fashioning all of these escape hatches for their blatant criminality.
Well having a written sworn oath on file doesnt make you any more or less prosecutable. If they are going to be arrested for treason or booted from office it'll be for what they did, not over a paperwork technicality
Technically, any Constitutional sheriff with his/her deputies may arrest/remove/replace all violators of oaths or those ineligible to serve, but illegally holding office. Also, any citizen can file claims against public official surety bonds to make them ineligible for office. And then maybe notify sheriff for enforcement.
Problem is sheriffs are corrupt as well, so we may need to replace them first.
