The Job Description

In this BBC interview, Bill Clinton mentions his job description. That would be the Oath of Office, folks.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

I'm glad this brouhaha has caused some people to read that document. But these debates on legalism and morality, or the lack thereof, miss something that I thought would be so obvious:

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
