Perhaps you recall a bit of a flub during the official oath of President Barack Obama at the inauguration yesterday. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath for a second time today- just to make sure everything is nice and legit.
Roberts had a bit of the twisted tongue on Tuesday with the 35-word constitutionally required oath.
According to White House counsel Greg Craig, ""We believe that the oath of office was administered effectively and that the President was sworn in appropriately yesterday. But the oath appears in the Constitution itself. And out of an abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath a second time."
This time there weren't millions of people or songs, prayers or poems. The eyes of the fashion world weren't on the First Family (don't worry, girls, your daddy is still the big cheese) and no speeches were made. The second oath was handled privately, just two men- Chief Justice Roberts and President Obama in the Map Room (with the candlestick, sorry I couldn't resist).
No Jonas Brothers were involved.
