Presidential Oath of Office: "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."
(Some presidents add "so help me, God." at the end of their oath. But it's not required.

People attending the Inaugural Bunch at the Capitol building are now arriving. Ivanka and kids, dignitaries are parading thru the rotunda passed armed US military. I hope they have bullets and can literally defend the President if needed. The Brunch is in statuary hall and the piece of art chosen to be on the wall is called "Verdict of the People". Presidential flourish is being played. President Trump is in the building!

Whose the chica sitting to the side of Melania? She must have used 2 cans of hairspray - one for each side, to get her hair to indent on the sides of her head! She could like hide a baseball on either side of her ears!

After his recent rant about wasteful government spending, I think it would be hilarious if the luncheon was box lunches being sold and Trey Gowdy taking the money for them.

Special Air Mission 29000 is leaving Andrews with former President Obama and his wife.

The Senate Chaplin is getting ready to say the benedictions. The members of the proposed new presidential cabinet are present. They still need to be confirmed. The reporters are saying they are starting to serve brunch. The live stream cut back to highlights of President Trump's Inauguration speech.

I thought I heard him say before he signed the last one; "What is this?" and I heard the person who had handed it to him say "National Day of Prayer". Did anyone else hear that?

The 35 words in Article II, Section I, of the Constitution read as follows:

"I do solemnly swear 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."

The presidential oath is the only one spelled out in the Constitution, and is the shortest. Interestingly, not included in the Constitution are the words used at the end by many presidents: "So help me God."


Thank you for clarifying.

I was beginning to think I wouldn't see this day.

I can't tell you how thankful I am, that I have.

Anybody else watching the BS on CNN? About the 'protestors' and the 'flash bangs' around the parade route? Loads of media, and almost zero 'protesters'.

It's absolutely laughable, at the extent of the 'fakeness'.

Just what do these fools think they are playing at.

Take a look, it's an eye opener.

I can not understand what the protestors hope to prove? They're nowhere near the president or parade. What in the world?

This may be a diversion to disperse forces that would normally protect the parade route. It is an old tactic. It has been used successful in guerrilla warfare for quite some time.
Stay alert, be prepared, we are in Civil War with the commies of this Country of Ours.
 

Be Well

may all be well
Did Trump really only say "I" twice in his speech?

I noted that particularly, compared with 0hole's speeches with "I,I,I,I,I" as the main theme. Apparently, I never listened to him for more than a few seconds, a couple of times. I REALLY hate vomiting.
