Next year William Rehnquist in the late morning on January 20th will administer the oath of office for vice-president to Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.
"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same: that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter."
Near noon the president elect takes this oath.
"I do solemnly 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."
Your 1 PM oath of change. Wipe the tears from your eyes. Clear bitterness from your heart. Turn off the tube. Consider administering this oath to your friends and loved ones and take it yourself.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) I the citizen creator will not remain saddled by ideas of the past, wrapped struck by history and notions that do not work, and let this country, world and Earth collapse around us without a fight, collapse around us without making changes to try to stop it, that I will lobby, cajole and vote to alter the Constitution of the United States and all laws and rules necessary to form a more perfect union that will endure for our descendants with our most important ideals preserved in a situation of limited resources. I will faithfully discharge my duty as citizen creator of the Constitution of the United States to change it as necessary to preserve, protect, empower our leaders and defend the natural law rights of all known inhabitants.
