On Loyalty and Law Day, President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation celebrating the 250th anniversary of the American Republic and reaffirming his administration’s commitment to the rule of law, constitutional heritage, and the "New Golden Age of America."

The proclamation frames Loyalty and Law Day as a time to honor the foundational truths that have guided the nation since July 4, 1776.

The President defined "responsible citizenship" through several core tenets:

• • Obedience to Law: Maintaining the social contract and respect for the legal system.

  • Honoring Heritage: Defending the American flag and the "constitutional way of life."

  • Patriotic Devotion: Recognizing the legacy of the Revolutionaries and those who fought "communist threats during the Cold War."

  • Faith and Country: Citing an unyielding devotion to God as a central pillar of American loyalty.

A major theme of the proclamation was the administration's effort to "reclaim" the justice system from what the President described as a period of decline:

• • Ending "Weaponization": The President asserted that his administration has ended the era of "lawlessness and the weaponization of our justice system."

  • Law and Order: He credited his policies with making American cities "safe, vibrant, and beautiful" once more.

  • Border Security: The proclamation noted that a secure border is a prerequisite for maintaining the rule of law within the homeland.

President Trump declared that the United States has entered a "new Golden Age"—a period of national renewal rooted in:

• • Reverence for the Constitution: Defending the "revolutionary framework of governance" against modern threats.

  • Strength against Tyranny: Renewing the resolve to ensure the "forces of tyranny and evil remain forever defeated."

  • Eternal Truths: Adhering to the principles of equal justice and human dignity that have endured for 250 years.

The proclamation concludes with a pledge of "unshakeable courage and devotion" to the Constitution. As the nation commemorates its Semiquincentennial, the President urged all citizens to recommit to the rule of law to ensure a future where liberty endures for the next generation.
