After obtaining an exclusive draft of the House of Representatives’ new rules package, Fox News has reported that a “key committee in the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives is moving to eliminate the God reference from the oath administered to witnesses testifying before the panel, as part of a new rules package expected to be approved this week.”
The draft obtained by Fox states that the House Committee on Natural Resources would only ask witnesses, “Do you solemnly swear or affirm, under penalty of law, that the testimony that you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?”
Fox explains:
The rules proposal places the words “so help you God” in red brackets, indicating they are slated to be cut. The words “under penalty of law” are in red text, indicating that Democrats propose to add that phrasing to the oath.
The draft rules also remove the phrase “his or her” throughout the document, changing those two pronouns to “their.” The rules additionally modify all references to the committee’s “Chairman” to instead refer only to the committee’s “Chair.”
Other rules changes relate to expanding the committee’s authority over natural gas in Alaska and fossil-fuel resources.
While many federal oaths include the phrase “so help me God,” some — most notably the presidential oath of office — do not.
The new language is set to be voted on by the full committee this week. The new rules would go into effect immediately if voted on. On Monday, other committees were still working on finalizing their rules.
Republican leaders were not pleased about the Democrats’ proposed change.
“It is incredible, but not surprising, that the Democrats would try to remove God from committee proceedings in one of their first acts in the majority,” House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney said to Fox News. She continued, “They really have become the party of Karl Marx.”
When Fox requested a statement from the Natural Resources Committee, they declined to respond. Democratic Arizona Representative Raul Grijalva heads the committee, which is in charge of national parks, wildlife, and energy, according to Fox.
The Democrats have been trying to remove God from official party documents for a while now. Back in 2012, a move to “restore to the platform a reference to God and recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital” was made at the Democratic National Convention, according to Fox News.
Fox reports, “A large and loud group of delegates shouted ‘no’ as the convention chairman (then-Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa) called for the vote. Villaraigosa had to call for the vote three times before ruling that the ‘ayes’ had it. Many in the crowd booed after he determined the language would be restored.”
“Hard-left Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar is facing backlash and accusations of homophobia after repeating baseless allegations pushed by MSNBC and liberal activists that South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is being blackmailed into supporting President Trump,” the news outlet says.

This should be approved by both houses and the president before anyone or group less than the full majority and with the presidents signature! just who does the house members think they are speaking for ? Not me or any one who believes in the Constitution or God would stand still for this and I am sure the majority of Americans believer in Christianity whether they are active or not. True there aree a good many who are Athiests, Muslims and Agnostics but every Christian, even our Jewish friends are with us so you better stop and think !
This democrat congress does not express for or represent the people of the U.S. It is a rogue division of bad actors, bent on power and political coup. We need to stop rogue Dems asap. Lets find a way, now.
Clearly the Democratic Party does not represent the American people, our values and our nation. Everything they do is against God, the constitution, what this country stands for and was established upon. The Democrats all took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution which clearly says that we are one nation under God and they have blatantly broken that oath which is grounds for them to be removed from office. Pelosi talks about her faith and called the border wall and our safety immoral. She along with the rest of the Democrats are immoral and self servicing And another disgrace not only to them selves but to the United States.
Pelosi keeps saying she is catholic, yet everything she does says the opposite. Allowing planned parenthood, yet worried about illegal kids. Taking God out of the oath, the oath she swore on. She is a old, hag hypocrite and needs to retire.
Th people in the house who want this should be investigated. Who are they so almighty to change things to their liking. Obama the BASTARD started all this off the wall BS.
we have to get rid of all these ass holes
This just goes to show you that the Democratic Party does not have anything positive to add to the existence of the United States of America. This country was founded around God and will always be affiliated with God and Israel. Democratic party is anti-American Auntie God it needs to be done away with permanently.
INSTEAD OF REMOVING GOD FROM THE GOVERNMENT LETS REMOVE THE DEMOCRATS FROM THE GOVERNMENT!
