[Vision2020] Otter Plans Closed-Door Oath Taking

[Donovan Arnold]

"May I remind the readers of this page that under the Constitution of  
the United States, no religious statement whatsoever is required in  
the swearing in of the President. I presume this would be the model  
for swearing-in for all other public offices."--RN
   
  So what.
   
  Was someone requiring it? 
   
  Most the Presidents put their hand on the Bible, and swore on it, did they not?

Andreas,

And the price of tea in China is?

I was unaware that the Pledge was a prayer. I thought it was a 
public statement of loyalty to the country and the people in it, just 
like an oath of office.

Merry CHRISTmas,

Donovan J Arnold
