The Constitution expressly -- and severally -- prohibits insurrection -- which is violence against gov't, which is by definition RULE OF LAW -- and stipulates how insurrections are to be dealt with:
"Art. I., S. 8., C. 15. The CONGRESS shall have Power To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute [ENFORCE] the Laws of the Union, SUPPRESS INSURRECTIONS, and repel Invasions."
And in addition --
"Art. I., S. 8., C. 16. The CONGRESS shall have Power To provide for organizing, ARMING, and disciplining, the Militia . . . reserving to the States [GOV'TS] respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed BY CONGRESS."
In keeping with the fundamental of CIVILIAN control of the military, BOTH US and state constitutions and laws govern and regulate the Militia -- today's National Guard. And they are armed by the gov't because they are law ENFORCEMENT.

@jaredarndts6123 1. "A system of Laws, and not of men." -- John Adams.
The oath is to the Constitution -- the Rule of Law -- not to any person including the president.
2. per the Constitution, "We the people" are the boss -- the president is not the boss; he is to SERVE "We the people".
3. Separation of Powers:
The Congress has oversight authority and responsibility OVER the Executive and Judicial branches. The Executive branch -- the president -- has NO authority over Congress except the choice to veto the laws enacted by Congress.
Unless and until you understand the basic structure of gov't, and how it is to function, you'll continue to be sucker for falsehoods about those fundamentals, and will continue to ask questions that make no sense, are irrelevant, and are false:
Four separate and independent grand juries of ordinary private citizens -- Trump's peers -- and based on sufficient hard evidence handed down a total 91 indictments against Trump. As example, insurrection is expressly prohibited in the Constitution; there is no "right" to engage in insurrection -- it is a CRIME.
There is no "right" to commit crimes. The claim of "absolute immunity" and that a president can "do anything he wants" is REFUTED by the fact of the Impeachment Clause.
Asserting baldfaced allegations WITHOUT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE is NOT PROOF. It is dumb, meaningless, and false propaganda. You've obviously avoided the opportunity to LEARN how law works -- there is plenty of opportunity to learn that by listening to those who actually know and explain it: SEASONED PROSECUTORS. Those are NOT found on FOX "news".
In the New York financial fraud case, which resulted in the half-billion dollar penalty, the EVIDENCE was the documents generated by and obtained from TRUMP'S OWN CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE -- because that is what his "business" has all along been.
That propagandists feed you the words "unlawful prosecution" -- WITHOUT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE to back it up -- DOES NOT make it so. READ THE COURT DECISIONS in the several cases FOR YOURSELF.
Last but not least: ALL the witnesses who testified AGAINST TRUMP before the January 6th Committee were ALL TRUMP REPUBLICANS from the TRUMP DOJ, the TRUMP campaign, and THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE.

@paullowell3342 I have an education in law. And this is the principle distinction you need to grasp:
"Justice and the Rule of Law are to be ABOVE politics." -- john Adams.
The essence of democracy is ELECTIONS. And the US Constitution expressly stipulates that there SHALL be ELECTIONS.
The United States is a representative democracy in which representatives, including the president, are democratically elected.
Further: legislative process is democracy in action: debate, negotiation, consensus of the majority.
As to taxation:
These are the first three, and fifth, bills enacted by the first Congress:
June 1, 1789. "An act to regulate the time and manner of administering certain oaths." That is, oaths of office.
July 4, 1789. "An act for laying a duty on goods, wares, and merchandises imported into the United States." TAXATION.
July 20, 1789. "An act laying duties on tonnage." TAXATION.
. . . .July 31, 1789. "An act to regulate the collection of duties imposed by law on the tonnage of ships or vessels, and on goods, wares, and merchandise." TAXATION.
There were also various state and local taxes raised for state and local domestic purposes.
You are not taxed to death; you simply believe you have the freedom to leech on the community while contributing nothing to it.
Taxation funds gov't, and gov't services to "We the people," as required and authorized through democratically-elected representatives by "We the people".
As other forms of taxation were seen to be needed, the Constitution was amended by the democratic approval of "We the people".
