Suzi LeVine is the US Ambassador to Switzerland. During her swearing-in ceremony recently, she did not use a hard copy of the Holy Bible or another religious text. She walked with her Kindle e-reader and swore on an electronic text of the 19th Amendment of the US Constitution.
According to an article in the New Yorker magazine, "There is no constitutional requirement for any federal official—firefighter, ambassador, or President—to take the oath of office over a particular text or, in fact, over any text at all. This explains why LeVine was able to swear over the Constitution rather than the Bible, which is a much more common choice. Legally, if not diplomatically, “Moby-Dick” or “The Cat in the Hat” would have been just as acceptable."
Gilbakka, scratching his gills, is wondering how long will it be for this kinda swearing-in to happen in Guyana.
