Christian nationalism, unfortunately, despite the better intentions of our founders.

How do you swear on the constitution?

The same way you swear in on the Bible. At least the Constitution has something to do with what you will be doing.

Some Presidents have not been sworn in on the Bible.

I always read that Teddy Roosevelt did not swear in on a Bible.

I wouldn't swear in on anything. I would take the oath of office and that would be enough.
