Oath Immigrants Swear Allegiance to America?

Question

What is the oath when immigrants became American citizen and swear allegiance to America?
Does the oath have any name? and can I see the whole sentenses?

Answer 1

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion."

It is very similar to the oath taken by government officials and all members of the U.S. military, with the addition of the last few line. Wouldn't it be great if EVERY U.S. citizen took this oath in order to register to vote at age 18? But then again, a lot of our LEGAL immigrants who go on to become U.S. citizens turn out to be some of our best citizens.

Upon further investigation I found that the exact wording is not what is important, but rather that it covers 5 areas that are the duty of all citizens (although it seems that many don't realize are care.

These principles are:

allegiance to the United States Constitution,

renunciation of allegiance to any foreign country to which the immigrant has had previous allegiances to (not enforced),

defense of the Constitution against enemies "foreign and domestic"

promise to serve in the United States Armed Forces when required by law (either combat or non-combat)

promise to perform civilian duties of "national importance" when required by law

Answer 2

There is a "Naturalization" ceremony.
