WASHINGTON (AP) - Hillary Clinton is assailing Donald Trump for refusing to say he'll respect the outcome of the presidential election.

The Democratic nominee says in Florida that she has "serious doubts" about whether Trump understands the meaning of the president's oath of office to "preserve, protect and defend the constitution."

Clinton said Tuesday at a Coconut Creek rally that Trump is "attacking everything that has set our country apart for 240 years." She pointed to his refusal at the final debate to commit to conceding the race if he loses.

She joked that Trump would have called George Washington "a loser" for not wanting to be king.

During the rally, the crowd broke into a spontaneous singing of "Happy Birthday" ahead of Clinton's 69th birthday on Wednesday.
