Show me a legal scholar or court case that supports your point of view and I will agree.

There is no such legal standard in American jurisprudence that I am aware of. Only your adamant declarations that the standard exists.

Perhaps it is classified or something.

You obviously cannot tell, or don't want to know, the difference between being sworn to "tell the truth, the whole truth, etc." at a legal proceeding, whose purposeful violation is a crime, and an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the US or whatever entity is involved which is commonly known as an oath of office. This oath of office is routinely taken by judges, presidents, law enforcement types, dog catchers, etc.

An "oath of office" and an oath to tell the truth at a legal proceeding a/k/a being sworn in, are two completely distinct things. Neither you nor Mary seem to be able to grasp this utterly simple concept.
