There was a video of the 2nd swearing in. I saw it.
“There was a video of the 2nd swearing in. I saw it.”
I don’t think so - If I recall correctly, there was a still photograph - no video - and there was NO audio!
I have always suspected that the issue with Barry’s birth certificate is that he went by the name Soetero while in Indonesia, and didn’t bother to change it back LEGALLY to Obama until much later, possibly even during the campaign.
If his name was actually still Soetero at the time of the election, then he would have to be sworn in as that, while the legal name change was being done behind the scenes. After Bush vs Gore in 2000, no one on the SCOTUS would want to be perceived as being a party to questioning the first black President.
Just a theory but it makes as much sense as anything else we know for sure about the man! And, it would explain the questions surrounding his Selective Service Registration. If he used a foreign name/citizenship to get into Occidental, then he wouldn’t have bothered to register for the draft. But when the issue came up in 2008, something had to be done quickly.
