The Oath of Office:

"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."

"Affirm" has been used only once, by President Franklin Pierce; most Presidents also end the Oath by saying "So help me God", but that's not really part of the Oath, and the practice was started some time in the late 1800s. Also, since 1933, every president has added their name into the Oath (i.e., "I, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, do solemnly swear...").

It is written in the Constitution. It is the only phrase actually in quotes in the entire document. It was slightly modified a few times before the final wording that is still used today. "Judgment" was replaced by "abilities" which, in turn, was replaced by "ability".
