I feel like we should swear presidents in on the constitution instead of a bible, given that, you know, we're not actually a christian country, despite what all the evangelicals like to think.
Or the item the person repsects most. That could be very telling. Of course,they would all lie and pick the Constitution and not the stack of $100 bills that they really honor.
What really gets me is how often I've heard people at swearing in ceremonies repeat, "I solemnly swear of affirm". NO! You're supposed to PICK ONE! The "or affirm" bit is in parenthesis and is an alternate thing you can say if you aren't religious. But, details, shmetails. . .

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's ass. Thine daughter's, however. . ."
His name is imprinted on the cover.And that is why he is taking his oath on it. Because he is taking an oath on his own name.
