The full audio recording of
Barack Obama
and
Chief Justice
John G. Roberts
as Obama takes the
Oath of office of the President of the United States
as the
forty-fourth
President of the United States
during his
inauguration
on January 20, 2009. Roberts recited the oath incorrectly, which caused Obama to also stumble on his lines. The oath should be "
I do solemnly swear/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.
" (from Article II Section 1 Paragraph 8 of the U.S. Constitution) (Duration: 45 seconds)
