why are politicians not under oath when sworn in?

489 viewsOther

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.

While yes it would be nice to know when they make a promise they can’t be lying but there are many cases where this just falls apart.

Say your country is at war like Ukraine currently is, would it be smart for Zelenskyy or any other politician to answer every question truthfully? 

“Why yes our plan is to move 30,000 troops at 4 am on the 16th to try and combat the flank on the Russian northern battalion”
