"Maybe 0 is planning on skipping the part where he is suppose to swear to uphold the U.S. Constitution."

He will suddenly have a coughing fit during parts of the swearing in, so he will be sworn in without being legally sworn in.

"I don’t see a Bible, either."

Maybe he is standing on it - what with the sole of one's shoes be quite the insult and show of disrespect.

"Even Biden got his oath right."

HA!

In fact he did bungle the swearing in the first time around. Guy is supposed to be smart, but cannot do the repeat after me?

He did 'repeat after me' the first time. Chief Justice Roberts bungled the Constitutional wording of the swearing in twice.

The oath (in pertinent part) is:

"that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States."

Roberts rearranged the order of the words, saying:

"that I will execute the office of president of the United States faithfully."

Obama began to repeat but stopped at the word"execute."

Roberts then said:

"that I will faithfully the office of president of the United States,"

leaving out "execute."

Obama then repeated:

"that I will execute the office of president of the United States faithfully."

That repeated Roberts' original mistake as to the placement of the word "faithfully."

Heck. I went back and watched the video. It's even more messed up than that, but essentially the same.

Both Obama and Roberts had their minds elsewhere (Reggie Love and "what's a tax?", respectfully).
