yet I wish there would also be an option to remove the Oath entirely.

Any Citizen can propose changes to our laws. If you want to strike down the oath entirely, write up legislation saying so and make your case to the Ecclesia.

This proposal is for changing the oath, however, so I don't feel "remove it" would be a relevant option in this particular vote.

I move for a vote on the following proposal:

Quote from: Oath of Citizenship
I, ([forum name)] hereby in isober sound mind, and good conscious conscience, do hereby declare my loyalty to the People Citizens' Democracy of Taijitu, and to the principles which our state is founded upon, those being Direct Democracy, and Egalitarianism, of the Glorious Revolution. I promise swear to respect and uphold, as both a Citizen and Member of the Ecclesia, the Constitution, Bill of Rights, the Standing Ordinances of the Ecclesia and the Glorious Revolution, and the laws which are currently in effect, adopted by the Ecclesia. and I understand recognize that should I break my oath or any term dictated above I shall be prosecuted within to the fullest extent of the law and that my citizenship may be forfeit., in good conscience do I promise.

I will move this to a vote in a couple of days if no objections are raised.
