His right hand was raised, while his left hand rested on the Bible, and he recited the oath of office administered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
It went like this: “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.”
