I Barack........ I Barack Hussein Obama do solemnly swear.
Jeez, I detest Obama’s ideas as much as the next guy, but this is silly. What’s sillier is a bunch of “scholars” actually sat around and debated the topic. Do it again in private, just to be safe? C’mon, gimme a break.
He won’t.
And when he gets in trouble, he will blame it on the Bush appointed Roberts.
Coolidge re-took the oath because he was sworn in in the middle of the night by his father. The issue was, Did his father, as a local magistrate, have the authority to administer the oath? Probably, since the Constitution does not specify that the Chief Justice be involved at all.
Don’t know about Arthur. Wasn’t he sworn in when Garfield died?

Ignore that last post, the audio got nasty in the end. didnt know. Ill have mods remove.
What’s the point? No one even bothered to check to see if they guy was elegible for the office? Whether he was a citizen? SO WHY WORRY ABOUT FLUBBING THE OATH? Gees.
Nonsense. The presidential term ends at 12 noon EST on the day. At high noon Bush ceased to be president and Obama became president. The swearing in is a formality.
They don’t even care if he was born here, why would they care about the oath?
B. Hussein flubs anything----->we must do over!
He holds his hand over the Bible and takes a minimal oath.
Hussein should provide a birf certificate while he’s at it. Re-do the oaf and finally provide his birf certificate on and for all.
Roberts: Are you prepared to take the oath, Senator?
Obama: I am.
R: I, Barack Hussein Obama, [overlapping: do sol]emnly swear
O: [overlapping: I, Bara—] (waits for Roberts to finish)
O: I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear
R: that I will… execute the office of President to the United States faithfully
(Note: The correct reading would have been “faithfully execute the office of President of the United States”.)
O: that I will execute (nods sharply to Roberts)
R: the off– faithfully the Pres– office of President [overlapping: of the United States]
O: [overlapping: the office of President] of the United States faithfully
R: and will to the best of my ability
O: and will to the best of my ability
R: preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States
O: preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States
R: So help you God?
O: (nods) So help me, God.
R: Congratulations, Mr. President.
No! Did you see the news today? They said at 12 noon Barry became President anyway even if he had not taken the oath of office yet. Besides he is a Kenyan citizen!
Obama F’d up before the “faithfully” part.
While we’re at it. Let’s do over the primaries/caucus/election stuff as well. And locate Obama’s real birth certificate, just to be safe.
It’s sounds like a sign that points to the fact that he most likely isn’t our legal, Constitutional President considering that he may not even be an US citizen.
Why is the Constitution to be followed to the letter all of a sudden? It seems to me the libs are always pretty quick to allow it to mean whatever they want it to mean.
