Re: was the Prez really sworn een? yep...di debate a gwane

i do think bungling in any way invalidates the oath. thee is leeway for the wording of the oath .you can swear or affirm, you can use you nameor not....you can use any book or no book.

<span style="font-style: italic">San Fransico Chronicle
January 21, 2009 09:57 AM </span></a>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">Several constitutional lawyers said President Obama should, just to be safe, retake the oath of office that was flubbed by Chief Justice John Roberts.

The 35-word oath is explicitly prescribed in the Constitution, Article II, Section 1, which begins by saying the president &quot;shall&quot; take the oath &quot;before he enter on the execution of his office.&quot;</span>

Re: was the Prez really sworn een? yep...di debate a gwane

Obama was already POTUS when he took the oath. He became POTUS at 12 noon, by the Constitution, whether he took the oath or not. The flubbed oath was given at 12:06 to the already President Barack <span style="font-weight: bold"> Hussein </span>Obama. (I was hoping he would use his whole name; the haters might as well get used to it.)

actually Biden was the president for those minutes, having been sworn into <span style="font-style: italic">his</span> office....an wid Obama not having taken his needed oath, Biden was Prez fi couple minutes

Re: was the Prez really sworn een? yep...di debate a gwane


As I understand it at 12 Noon the President Elect becomes President whether the oath is administered or not so Biden would not have been President at all. Both him and him wife have loose lips.

Re: was the Prez really sworn een? yep...di debate a gwane

one of those tomayto/tomawto issues dat constitutional lawyers r wont to argue...but yes, the 20th ammendment did change the hour to noon BUT him still haffi tek di oath...so i guess the next step up ? could be, if him neva tek di oath, would he still be president? now dat would be an interesting case to argue

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The 20th Amendment changes things

In the 20th Amendment, the 20th of January was set as inauguration day. Not only that, noon on that day was set as the exact start time of the term. The amendment is clear: at noon on the 20th, the incoming president's term begins. The president is still required to take the oath of office to perform the duties of the presidency, but regardless of when that oath is taken, at noon, the president-elect is officially the president. Franklin Roosevelt's second term was the first to begin on January 20th, cutting his first term short by six weeks.

The only time we need to worry about the exact time a President's term begins today is if the term begins as the result of a death. However, we now have a fall-back for this situation, too. In 1967, the 25th Amendment was passed that specifically states that when a President dies or is otherwise removed from office, the Vice President becomes President. This is the same sort of cut-off as &quot;noon on January 20&quot; is. The transition is seamless - the new President <span style="font-weight: bold">must</span> take the Oath of Office <span style="font-weight: bold">before he can act as Preside</span><span style="font-weight: bold">nt</span>, [<span style="font-style: italic">b]but even before the oath is given, he (or she) is the President[/b]</span> </div></div>

there is no restriction on who has to adminster the oath so he can jus recite it to himeslf and its all good.
