Honest question: how long is a US president bound by their oath to the constitution? If a former president advocated to "terminate the constitution" would they have broken that oath or is it only valid for the execution of the office?
@brembs But the problem is - and not only in USA - that violating the Constitution is *not a crime*.
Many problems might be solved by adding one sentence, not to the Constitution, but to the Criminal Code: "Violating the constitution is treason."
And the rest is sorted, as there are already other laws that then state the legal consequences for the crime of treason.
Generally that may be true in some countries (Germany for example differs there), but the president of the USA swears an oath to "preserve, protect, and defend" the constitution. Breaking that oath would be perjury, no?
