U.S. House of Representatives

Updated January 2007

All members of the House take an oath of office, required by Article 6 of the United States Constitution, to be bound to support the Constitution. On the first day of the new Congress, the newly elected Speaker of the House administers the following oath to all:

“I, (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

How many elected representatives take this oath with full knowledge of what it means to hold true to it? Furthermore, how many take the oath with no intention of fulfilling it?

Article 1, Section 2 of the United States Constitution provides for the minimum and maximum sizes for the House of Representatives.

The current size of the House of Representatives was established by Public Law 62-5 on August 8, 1911 and took effect in 1913. That size stands at 435 members.
