President Barack Obama retakes oath after mistakes at inauguration
Chief Justice John Roberts re administered the oath to the president in front of reporters at the White House. The White House counsel said in a statement read by a spokesman the oath was administered a second time out of an "abundance of caution.The confusion arose after Mr Roberts', dubbed the "oaf of office" by one US newspaper, pronounced crucial words in the wrong order during the inauguration ceremony. He should have said "faithfully execute the Office of the United States", but instead said "execute the Office of the President of the United States faithfully" Mr. Obama, smiling, clearly recognized the mistake, and gave Mr Roberts a chance to correct himself, but the judge put faithfully in the right place but left out the word execute" |
