Instead of all this conjecture and wondering aloud, maybe I should just go right to the source…just contact the president and ask him about why he didn’t put his hand on the bible before he took office.
Okay, I’ve scoured the footage for about twelve or thirteen hours now, and I have to say that I’m a little worried for the stability of our country. Can a man be President of the United States if, when he took his Oath of Orifice, he did not have his hand on the Bible in front of him?
When I first heard the reports on the Internet, I didn’t think it could be true. How could a man be president if his oath wasn’t official? But then, I had to wonder, is it the act of putting your hand on a copy of one of the world’s oldest and highest-selling fantasy novels what officially makes you president, or is it just the words he says? I was confused, to say the least.
Historically speaking, the practice of putting your hand on a bible while taking the presidential oath of office quite literally goes all the way back to our country’s very first president’s first term. George Washington, Jorge to his more “hip” and “woke” friends, slapped his hand down on a Bible to take the oath, and that very same Bible was used to administer the oath several times since.
However, this time around, I can confirm that the man who is our president now did not put his hand on the Bible before he assumed power. Even if the Constitution doesn’t require it, and to be honest I’m not sure most people who love this new president even have read that document, then I think maybe it doesn’t matter so much. I mean, in a country with freedom of religion, I would think freedom to not be religious would also be covered.
But you know what? Instead of all this conjecture and wondering aloud, maybe I should just go right to the source. Yeah, I think that’s what I’ll do. I’ll just contact the president at the (extremely) White House, and ask him about why he didn’t put his hand on the bible before he took office.
So, as soon as I hear back from Elon Musk, I’ll let you know what he says.
Waste another twenty minutes with us.
