In hindsight, I seem to have misinterpreted the original conversation @JohnT and I had.
Original discussion
Right here is where I make the mistake, I erroniously assume JohnT is arguing about the definition of America/an American [person].
No, in no place does the oath say you pledge fidelity to the country, it’s clearly written that you pledge fidelity to our Laws and Constitution.
And since the laws are determined by democratic majority as defined by the Constitutions of the various States as well as the Constitution, you are pledging fidelity to the democratic processes which generates these laws.
Whether there is still a debate to have, I do not know.
