An oath (from Anglo-Saxon að, also called plight) is either a promise or a statement of fact calling upon something or someone that the oath maker considers sacred, usually God, as a witness to the binding nature of the promise or the truth of the statement of fact. To swear is to take an oath.
Article 2 of the the United States Constitution prescribes that the President must take the oath "before he enter on the Execution of his Office".
The oath of office of the President of the United States is an oath or affirmation required by the United States Constitution before the President begins the execution of the office.
38 words and a bible by convention (or another book) to anknowledge that the oath maker is calling upon a higher authority to bear witness to the bingding nature of his promise.
As one popular jingle goes "so easy a cave man could do it".
Not so in the case of our bigger than life new president-(at least for the present) until his status of even being a legitimate holder of the office is ferreted out.
In his excitement to hurry up and get his swearing in over so that he could get access to executive power, he cut off the officiating official in mid sentence causing him to mis speak the required order of words necessary to take on the mantle of power. Strike one.
The oath was again presented incorrectly missing one of the words. Strike two.
The oath was repeated in the original incorrect sequence. Strike three. But left there to get on with the circus.
After review by constitutional scholars the decision was made that the oath requirements neccessary to gain access to legitimate executive power had not been fulfilled properly and in an excess of caution would be readministered in private.
This time the words were recited and repeated correctly in the proper sequence BUT THE BIBLE WAS LEFT OUT. Strike four.
The requirement is that the oath must be sworn to with a book in hand that bears evidence that the oath is being sworn to by a higher power, that the oath taker acknowledges as having that power, in order to provide evidence of the binding power of his oath. By convention in America, it is the Bible. Not so for Obama. When questioned, his response was it wasn't necessary, He was just doing the redo as a matter of form.
The question is: if the original swearing in ceremony was conflicted enough to be considered invalid and requiring it to be done again correctly, anything sworn to in that event became null and void, so in the repeat of the oath who or what exactly was Obama putting in play as required as the binding authority.
Once again he didn't get it right and some are saying he needs to do it over and this time do it right--his response not necessary. Constitution? Whats that got to do with it?
I guess maybe his followers have it right--he is the messiah and therefor doesn't need to make an oath to a higher power- THE ONE is enough.
Just one more item to add to the list of the things that do not matter:
No records
No birth certificate
No Constitution
No God
