Yeah, you can call him a perjurer. When he swore to defend and protect the Constitution, he either lied or was secretly referring to some alien constitution.

Our difference of opinion may lie at the heart of what each of us think it is to be an American. There may be millions of different opinions or shades of opinions on it, but, critically, there is now a major one in terms of how we are governed.

There are those that believe the Constitution is the blueprint. And there are those who believe the Constitution is an impediment to how we should be governed.

The Constitution was written as a structure for a free people to govern themselves with a limited power granted by those people to a central government which would be a cohesive force to bind us together and make us powerful against outside forces and against an internal tyranny.

Those who oppose the Constitutional system believe we are a product of historical progress and we have arrived at a historical place where we need not fear old tyrannies, and that the best mode of government is an all powerful benevolent administration which will do for us whatever is necessary for our well being.

Which type of government you believe in will inform what you think it is to be American. Those that believe in the Constitutional framework would consider those that trash it as being unAmerican.
