And unlike the last time – when Melania was smiling – this time she is no-nonsense serious. And her outfit is something one would see at a funeral (death of the US INC?). Remember T told us “I’m not Christian” at a rally from last year? Stay tuned for the next movie scene(s)……….Of note – JD Vance was sworn in at 12noon – Trump – 12:01.
We know religions here all worship the same “god” (Moloch). And it’s legal to do what he did – it can represent a secular perspective. Another bread crumb for people to research.
Per grok: Being sworn in as President or Vice President with the right hand raised but without placing a hand on the Bible represents a secular affirmation rather than a religious oath. Here’s what this signifies: – **Secular Affirmation**: Instead of taking an oath, which traditionally involves swearing on a religious text like the Bible, an individual can choose to affirm their commitment to the office. This is allowed under the Constitution, which permits affirmation as an alternative to an oath for those who might have religious objections to swearing or for those who do not wish to incorporate religious elements into the ceremony. – **Historical Precedent**: Although most Presidents have chosen to swear their oath on the Bible, there have been notable exceptions. For example, Franklin Pierce affirmed his oath of office without a Bible in 1853, reportedly due to personal beliefs or to make a statement about the separation of church and state. John Quincy Adams also swore his oath on a law book, not a Bible, emphasizing the legal aspect of the commitment. – **Legal Basis**: The U.S. Constitution in Article II, Section 1, Clause 8 specifies that before entering office, the President shall take the following oath or affirmation: “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 language clearly allows for both swearing (with religious connotation) and affirming (without religious connotation). – **Symbolism**: Opting for affirmation and not using a Bible can symbolize a commitment to secular governance, emphasizing that the duties of the office are based on the Constitution rather than religious doctrine. This choice might reflect personal beliefs or a broader message about the separation of church and state. – **Public Perception**: While this choice might be controversial among some who view the traditional oath on the Bible as integral to the ceremony, it underscores the flexibility and inclusivity of American civic rituals, accommodating a diverse range of beliefs among leaders. In summary, being sworn in with the right hand raised but without a hand on the Bible signifies a commitment to the office through a secular affirmation, aligning with constitutional provisions that respect both religious and non-religious convictions.
This is a Scheduled 1221.
