WHITE HOUSE — President Barack Obama takes the oath of office for his second four-year term in a private White House ceremony.
On Monday, Obama will be sworn in again, in public.
The U.S. Constitution mandates that presidential terms expire at noon on January 20, so the president and Vice President Joe Biden will be officially inaugurated in separate ceremonies on Sunday. Only family members and a few others will be present at the White House when Obama is sworn in for his second term by Chief Justice John Roberts.
Since Sunday is the traditional American day of rest, the president and vice president will be sworn in again on Monday in public ceremonies before hundreds of thousands of people gathered on Washington’s National Mall.
In a historical oddity, Obama will join Franklin Roosevelt as the only U.S. presidents to be sworn in four times. Roosevelt was elected to four terms as president. In addition to this year’s two oaths, Obama was sworn in twice in 2009, because Chief Justice Roberts misspoke while administering the oath the first time, jumbling the order of the words in the official oath. Despite that, the
oath was legal. The chief justice, however, administered the oath again, in private the following day, just to be sure. ----------------------------------------------------- I'll tell you why he takes it twice each time. The public ceremony he swears in on the Christian bible while in the private ceremony he swears in on the Koran. First election they claimed it was because Roberts misspoke but no excuse is given this time as to why the two ceremonies!!! Each time he is elected HE SWEARS IN TWICE! Think about it, the scum has been sworn in 4 times for two terms. Id bet my life that the Koran is used in the private ceremony each time.. -Tyr
