The Colorado Oath of Office is a set of promises made by individuals in public service positions in the state of Colorado. It is sworn by elected officials, state employees, and members of the military when they assume office. It is intended to ensure that those in public service are committed to upholding the laws of the state, preserving the rights of its citizens, and faithfully executing the duties of their office. The Colorado Oath of Office is typically composed of three parts: the preamble, the promise, and the affirmation. The preamble typically states the purpose of the oath and the individual's commitment to the office. The promise outlines the duties of the office and the individual's commitment to them. The affirmation is the individual's pledge to uphold the laws and defend the Constitution. The most common type of Colorado Oath of Office is the Constitutional Oath, which is sworn by all state officials, state employees, and members of the military. This oath includes the preamble, promise, and affirmation outlined above, as well as an additional clause requiring the individual to swear that they have not taken part in any rebellion or insurrection against the United States.
