no it's not, because you still have the right not to testify. 5th amendment?

editing this, because you're right. you can assemble and plan the protest in the oval office all you want. whether you actually get to do it, totally different thing.

I would tend to agree with you on this as well, in most cases. As long as you're not lying about things like having a congressional medal of honor, your performance will probably show that you either are, or are not, lying on your application. Simple records checks as well should show that you are either licensed to practice medicine or fly a plane, so if you want to lie on the application, go for it, but don't cry when you get fired because you can't do the job.
