acroyearArticle Six of the United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
One of my favorite movie jokes ever is in Airplane II (one if its few REALLY funny ones, if damn subtle). At the trial, the bailiff holds this heavy 3" thick book to the jive dude and goes "Do you swear on the Constitution of the United States to tell the truth ...".
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.You know, I would love it when an openly gay person is elected to Congress or even President, that he swear his oath on a copy of the Washington Blade.
