Let the Nation Demand It

Article 87 of the Mexican Constitution sets the words with which the president takes office. The oath begins: “Protesto guardar y hacer guardar la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos y las leyes que de ella emanen.” It ends: “y si así no lo hiciere que la Nación me lo demande.” “And if I should not do so, may the Nation demand it of me.”
