However, since NASA was interested in pushing the state of the art in every way they decided to select a much more advanced design in order to “force an advancement of rocket engine technology”. Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in at his first inauguration on a Roman Catholic missal on Air Force One, believing it was a Bible, in the immediate aftermath of the assassination of John F. Kennedy; he swore in on a Bible at his second inauguration. This numerical discrepancy results chiefly from two factors: a president must take the oath at the beginning of each term of office, and, because Inauguration Day has sometimes fallen on a Sunday, five presidents have taken the oath privately before the public inauguration ceremony. This word is driven, as in ultra-motivated, or in the purest sense, what you may have done with a car. In 1973, President Richard Nixon added the word “and” between “preserve” and “protect,” resulting in “preserve and protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Nixon had recited the line correctly during his first inauguration. With the 2021 inauguration of Joe Biden, the presidential oath has been taken 76 different times by 45 persons. In 2009, Chief Justice John Roberts, while administering the oath to Barack Obama, incorrectly recited part of the oath.

The Constitutional language gives the option to “affirm” instead of “swear.” While the reasons for this are not documented, it may relate to certain Christians, including Quakers, who apply this scripture literally: “But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation” (James 5:12, KJV). By convention, incoming presidents raise their right hand and place the left on a Bible while taking the oath of office. They also detected large quantities of carbon monoxide, suggesting there’s a lot of oxygen (O) available in Jupiter’s atmosphere to chemically bond to molecular hydrogen (H2) to form water (H2O) if the temperature and pressure is just right. Teams that chose this model for their spacecraft, such as Canadian Arrow, were forced to make some serious adjustments to fulfill the contest’s requirements: Primarily, the rocket had to be large enough to carry three people, and the passengers couldn’t explode when the rocket touched back down.

In addition, three have repeated the oath as a precaution against potential later constitutional challenges. There have been two forms of administering, and taking, the oath of office. Conversely, there was a claim made by A. M. Milligan (a Presbyterian minister who advocated for an official Christian U.S. Richard Nixon, who was also a Quaker, swore, rather than affirmed. In practice, most presidents, at least during the last century, have opted to take the oath (rather than an affirmation), to use a Bible to do so, and also to close the oath with the customary phrase. Given that nearly every president-elect since President Franklin D. Roosevelt has recited the additional phrase, it is likely that the majority of presidents-elect have uttered it. That’s significant because if the original higher estimates had been correct, the universe would have blown apart eons ago. February 6, 2009. Archived from the original on 2021-12-22 – via YouTube.

Thomas Jefferson and Calvin Coolidge did not use a Bible in their oath-taking ceremonies. Porter H. Dale, “The Calvin Coolidge Inauguration Revisited: An Eyewitness Account by Congressman Porter H. Dale”, Vermont History, 1994, Volume 62, pp. A contemporaneous newspaper account of Lincoln’s 1865 inauguration states that Lincoln appended the phrase “So help me God” to the oath. This newspaper report is followed by another account, provided later in the same year after Lincoln’s death (April 15, 1865), that Lincoln said “So help me God” during his oath. Washington’s adding “So help me God” to his acceptance. It does not include the closing phrase “So help me God,” and it also allows for the optional form of an affirmation which is not considered an oath. It’s possible that several different building blocks converged to form the object, although that information is being investigated further; the lumpy surface of Arrokoth still was puzzling investigators. In Word, it can create documents based on your prompts, or by being given an existing document and asked to create a new one from that – for example, creating a new sales pitch based on an existing marketing document.
