Hopefully the Constitution, since that is what the President is sworn to uphold. I don't know why more politicians aren't sworn in on the Constitution.

And if female, someone else's penis.

What makes you think it's the law that a president has to use a religious book to swear on?

I was just curious. I would imagine there would be a nationwide uproar these days if the bible wasn't used.

There probably would be, but they don't have to swear on a bible.

They've actually had people sworn in with other religious texts where appropriate. Went over without anyone really noticing, though president would probably be different.

For an uproar to happen a non-Christian would first have to be elected President. That isn't going to happen anytime soon.

I know it's a "religion" and all, but I would place my hand on the Book of the SubGenius just for the lulz.

He would take the oath on the communist manifesto because everyone knows that all atheists are heathen homosexual commies.
