Holy Shit

[elfs]

Mike Huckabee announced yesterday that he would seek to amend the Constitution to God's standards.

I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And that's what we need to do is amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than trying to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family.

Wow. How can he take the oath to become President without being forsworn? Or does his oath to a higher power take precedence?

It is not forswearing ones oath to execute his constitutional duties to attempt to change the constitution. If he succeeds, he just has to follow the new rules (more to his liking) as laid out in the amended Constitution. There is nothing wrong with running on a platform to amend the Constitution -- heck, lots of folks did back in 1788.

Of course, as President, he would have no formal role in the Amendment process, which might make it more difficult for him to change the Constitution.
