6. Presidents should take the oath on Constitution as well as upholding it. The bible is irrelevant.

Last edited Mon Feb 1, 2021, 05:56 PM - Edit history (1) Regardless of his religious views, I like the strategic move. So much of what we do in Govt and Society as a whole is based on symbolism. I think The Constitution is probably the greatest symbol he could have chosen, especially now.
Thanks for posting this. 
The symbolism is re-inforced every time it's brought into the light. |

12. It doesn't matter what his religious beliefs are.

Says to in the Constitution. We do need to know that he believes in the U.S. Constitution. Very refreshing!
