ran 2.1 miles
Today ends week seventy-six of running against Obama. I ran 22.2 miles this week averaging 3.17 miles per day.
“I do solemnly swear 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."
That was the oath our president took when he was sworn in. Yet, so many of his legislative actions have teeming numbers of states appealing his actions to higher courts. Or they seek interstate compacts to avoid some of his decisions, which have been deemed unconstitutional by Americans.
No president in history has ever been so limited by the Constitution to reach his goals as Barack Obama, yet he swore to defend it. Our president challenges it constantly. On Day526 I posted a quote from an interview Barack Obama had with NBC:
“What’s frustrated people is that I’ve not been able to implement every aspect of what I said in 2008. Well, it turns out our founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes.”
They designed a system to prevent people like you from violating it, Mr. President. After citing the oath you took, after the actions you’ve made, and after the idea that you suddenly discovered it turns out that our founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than you would like, I have one question:
How do you swear one thing and at the same time do another?
The oath does not state, “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, disregard, destroy, and redefine the Constitution of the United States.”
452.6 miles to go.
Here is what happened one year ago on Day167.
