The custom was started by Washington and most of them laid their hand on a Bible while taking the oath. Three exceptions have been noted - T. Roosevelt raised his hand in the air while taking the oath,although I think a Bible was present. Coolidge was sworn in by father at home and did not put his hand on a Bible even though one was on a nearby table. Lyndon Johnson, who had an emergency swear-in in a plane, laid his hand on a book which turned out to be a Catholic prayer book instead of a Bible.
