Trump neglected to sign a pledge not to advocate to 'overthrow the government' when signing Illinois election paperwork

• Since 1951, Illinois has asked candidates to sign a loyalty pledge when running for office.
• The now-optional oath says the candidate won't "advocate the overthrow of the government."
• Trump signed it ahead of the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, but did not for 2024.

Since the 1950s, Illinois has either required or voluntarily asked its candidates for office to sign a loyalty pledge promising not to advocate to "overthrow of the government of the United States."
