Oaths

Inauguration day.

So it really does appear that Chief Justice Roberts messed up the oath.  

The problem is the Constitution says this about the Prez taking power:

“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.”

So by not taking the Oath as written, one can say he did not take the Oath, and therefore cannot enter on his Office.

Oh wellz that is life.

Careless Chief Justice.
