The Constitution (Article II, Section 1) states the words that must be recited:

“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.”

Just words.

The long national nightmare does not end today, as so many hoped it would.  But at least it’s half over.

The dog heard we’ll be living with this crap another 4 years. (scroll down)
