Question

If Barack Hussein Obama is elected, instead of reciting the oath of office, will he just say "present"?

Answer 1

With his hand on the koran

Answer 2

No, go follow the other little lambs

Answer 3

Grow up. If you honestly believe that JOHN MCCAIN is any sort of man to be running America you have some serious research to do. Do you really love the current administration that much? I for one, would like to keep the woman's right to choose and get the h**l out of this trillion dollar war we've got ourselves into. Just me?

Answer 4

Can we move past his name?  He's a Christian and American and has my vote because it's time for a change.  Let's look at the issues not the unnecessary b.s.  

Answer 5

Whatever

Answer 6

He will not.It will be more like this. "Uh...um...uh...present."

Answer 7

Very Possibly

Answer 8

Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution:

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--''I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.''

If he is going to be president, he must recite the oath.

(btw, there is nothing in the Constitution or U.S. law that requires the oath be taken on a Bible.  That is a tradition that is actually in conflict with the spirit of separation of church and state.  He can take his oath with his hand on the Koran, the Book of Mormon, the Torah, or a copy of Gone With the Wind, and it would still be legal.)

I hope that answers your question.

Thank you.

Get over Obama being black - McCain is an option that makes Bush look like he has a qualification.

Answer 10

Yeah, but it will be more like ...."errrrrr, ummmmm, present".

Answer 11

mccain will just yell SUCKERS

Answer 12

i hope you understand that everything from rudy (the devil himself) giuliani and sarah (the devil's little b*tch) palin's speeches were all lies.

and reciting an OATH and VOTING are two very different things.  

Answer 13

(ahem) Anyone who is going to be president

will certainly recite the oath of office.

This includes Sen. Obama....

It is called "difference in opinion"...

Not everyone HAS to vote as you do

or THINK as you do...

Answer 14

It's funny that Republicans have no idea that McCain actually voted present twice as many times as Obama. What is also amazing is that McCain has been a lifer in the Senate and that is allegedly Obama's weakness.. Oh ok.. hypocrites!

Answer 15

"If he fixes what the last president did, i dont care wtf he says."

ditto  

Answer 16

Answer 17

Answer 18

I don't care if he answers with a f**t noise. . .

Just as long as HE IS THERE "taking the Oath."

Answer 19

Sunny, Of course he has your vote who would have guessed.

Answer 20

If he fixes what the last president did, i dont care wtf he says.

Answer 21
