Inauguration Day Celebration!

Told to us by Lisuhut in other post!  :)

Inauguration Day Celebration!

January 20th, 2009.
 
Today, January 20th, is the date enshrined in the twentieth amendment to the U.S. Constitution for the presidential inauguration. Until 1933 and the adoption of the twentieth amendment, the presidential inauguration occurred on March 4th.

The transfer of power in America from one President to another is accomplished in just a few moments and 35 words.

Each president recites the following oath, in accordance with Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

This legal oath was first administered to George Washington in 1789. At the conclusion of the legal oath George Washington added "so help me God." Since that first occurrence in 1789, this oath has been administered 54 times, and in all cases the addition by George Washington, "so help me God", has been added by the man taking the oath.

The presidential oath is taken on a Bible, and it is the Bible used by George Washington that is represented on our Inauguration Day pin along with the words of commitment added by George Washington and every other man who has become the President of the United States of America: "so help me God."

When you login today, Inauguration Day, you will receive the George Washington Inaugural Bible Pin and 1000 credits in celebration of the enduring nature of the U.S. Constitution and the peaceful transfer of power which it has nourished for 220 years.

Didn't Obama do the oath with Lincoln's Bible he was going to weather permitting. Did it happen. I tried to watch on CNN that was a laugh. So turned on the radio.

While I appreciate the "freebies" and the recognition of this important day in our country's happenings, I am somewhat offended by the object of choice for a pin.  There are countless symbols I could think of for the Presidency.  Why choose a religious item that excludes many?  I have to say I think it's very short-sighted thinking. 

A US flag
The White House
A raised hand (like taking the oath)
The round symbol of the office of the President
A dated pin

... so many options, are much more inclusive.

Hi Dreams,
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was a bit disturbed by VFK's choice.  You listed such excellent options.  There's suppose to be a separation of church and state in our Govt.

I see both post were combined which is great.  The only reason I put the other one separately is so people would see the title in the layout section.  LOL, I was going to combine them, but then thought I was wrong and that it was suppose to be separated.

Being Canadian I was excited to see history but in reality the oath means nothing to me. I do see the issue. However all Presidents have taken the oath with one hand on a bible. He is not president till he takes the oath. So at this moment in history it is the supreme court justice, president elect, his wife holding the bible.That is  the scene of the moment he becomes president. Today Obama did use Lincoln's bible not Washington so they should have used his bible because to me that is much most historically important.
