I think the oath is in the constitution, so it would require an amendment to change.

That aside, he could swear anything and they would never hold him to it, at least not until he pisses of a huge number of republicans. The rest of us don't count.

Even still, they'd let him pardon himself.

Since the specific wording of the oath of office for the presidency is specified in the Constitution.
