It should be to the US Constitution not the president. Some Trump supporters seem to think the opposite... including Trump himself.

I, ______, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…

That foreign part is going to be Trump's Achilles heel for the rest of his presidency.

None of that matters. The FBI director is appointed by the POTUS which means he can also be fired for any reason or no reason. That's just the way it works and always will.

You are saying that they must not be loyal to the Constitution. Nobody questioned whether or not a President can fire someone like him. That's not the point.

Trump loyalty oath demands resemble that of a Banana Republic dictator.

If all men are created equal - why then do those inside the DC beltway get to live by their own rules? don't you want to know the truth ? or can't liberals handle it.

I think you should be asking: Can't conservatives supply any truth?

So far, the answer is a resounding NO!

Seeing that this is a public poll you will not get any Trump supporters voting in it. There are already two of them responding in this thread who lack the courage to vote. Even they know what they really believe shows us all that they hate the Constitution.

Come on, Dbones and illtaketwoplease. Have some courage and show us the conviction of your beliefs!

Removing the animosity from the discussion, it is worth noting, that just 7 short months ago, all of those condemning the firing of Comey, were actively calling for the firing of Comey.
