This allowed Hitler to order his generals and army to attack whom Hitler willed and they obeyed.
This is the power Trump said he wanted in his generals.

Who else swore the oath

In USA presidents and other officials are required to swear to "uphold and defend the constitution of the United States.
Trump swore this when he was elected president and sworn into office. But when Biden was elected president Trump tried to overthrow the counting of votes, on January 6, 2021, by calling a group of his supporters to come to Washington DC on January 6,2021, and then Trump sent the group to storm the Capitol building to stop the counting of electoral votes which would make Biden president instead of himself.
Most of us watched this on live TV ... it would have overthrown the democratic government of the United States had they succeeded.
It really troubled me, although I've never thought much about our government. But when I saw the mob sent by Donald Trump to stop the work of the vote counting, I realized democracy itself was in danger. I'd rather live in a government of democracy than live in any other form of government.
