Comment on What's the point of constitutional monarchies? Why even keep the monarchy in place if they aren't even doing anything?

  “…that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; …so help me God.”

    I’m neither American nor from a monarchy, but pledging allegiance to your country still seems less weird than to a specific person. Like, what you are quoting still “on behalf of the United States” as opposed to, say, the president. Both are weird, but pledging allegiance to a person feels weirder to me.
