An Oath by definition is: A solemn promise, often invoking a divine witness, regarding one’s future action or behavior. 

  In the past, It has always been taken as a sworn statement of integrity and personal commitment toward a purpose. As in swearing an Oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. A person’s moral values are highlighted in taking such an Oath and when a person stands, right hand raised, pronouncing, “So help me God,” it illuminates a person’s religious beliefs as well. So is there a penalty for breaking one’s oath, let alone one sworn before God? There doesn’t seem to be one. At this time in our countries evolution is there a need to create laws that penalize a person for breaking such an Oath? Perhaps a fine, or disbarment, at least the disqualification from a position that requires taking such an Oath?

All through history, the swearing of an Oath before God was based on a person’s integrity, and moral values.

It appears it still is.
