why are politicians not under oath when sworn in?

It seems that all politicians are increasingly deceitful and there are no repercussions. You would think having politicians under oath could be perjured and sent to prison for lying since they work for the people they’re lying to.

It’s very difficult to tell apart lies from genuine misunderstandings, a change of opinion, the discovery of new information, misremembering etc. I think the fear of going to prison for being wrong would make people more likely to simply say nothing.
