"Each president recites the following oath, in accordance with Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." "
The "United States" and the "United States of America" are different places/concepts in law. Rather than open that particular can of worms, I'll leave it to you to search for the definitions.
