>>oath of citizenship.....which I suppose also applies to the USA president, senators and congressors<<

Mq: Those who are born in America never take this oath - only naturalized American citizens, as part of the naturalization ceremony.

The day I became a US citizen was one of the high points of my life. There were perhaps two hundred people in the room, a veritable cross-section of global humanity, united in their hope for a life better than the one they had left.

I was surprised and touched by the genuinely warm welcome extended to the roomful of new Americans by the INS Director officiating. I don't have a copy of the text of his remarks, but this is quite similar:

>>Dear Citizen, just as no person is perfect, America is not perfect. I've learned that America may not always live up to my expectations. But the more I live up to her expectations, the more she delights me. America has always been and continues to be the land of opportunity, where an individual can achieve the "impossible." So embrace America fully. Believe in her. Make her your own. You are a new member of this American family ... and we welcome you!<<
