You actually don't understand my argument. What you're talking about now is WHY I think trump broke the law. It has nothing to do with oaths of office. Oaths of office do NOT create a legal duty. That code, as well as the administrative law around

without authority

from that code is what creates a legal duty.

I understand your argument, don't be patronizing.

No I don't care what you think about Trump or if he broke the law.

It does, you swear to follow the law they make you take it specifically so they can increase penalties, it quite literally increases legal responsibility.
