===Federal judiciary oaths=== In the United States, [[United States federal judge|federal judges]] are required to take two oaths. The judicial oath is this: {{blockquote|I, (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as (office) under the Constitution and laws of the United States. [So help me God.]<ref name=usc28.453>{{usc|28|453}}, ''Oaths of justices and judges''</ref>}} The other is the same oath that all other officers of the United States (save the President) take: {{blockquote|I, (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. [So help me God.]<ref name=usc5.3331>{{usc|5|3331}}, ''Oath of Office''</ref>}} Federal statute specifically says that the latter oath "does not affect other oaths required by law."<ref name=autogenerated1>{{usc|5|3331}}, ''Oath of Office''.</ref>
