I'm not aware that any Senators have been sworn into office on a coopy of the Koran.
However, Representative Keith Ellison of Minnesota was sworn into office on a Koran, because he is Muslim.
Barack Obama will be using the same bible Abraham Lincoln used when he was sworn in as President.
Nothing. He just raised his right hand and swore in.
I cannot find anything about this in the news. However, Obama is not Muslim and there would be no reason for him to send copies of the Quran. By the way, in 2006 a senator (not Obama) did pose with a copy of Thomas Jefferson's Quran. This was after being sworn in using a Bible.
No- that was a different member of Congress. Congressman Ellison was the individual that used the Quran. Obama is a Christian, who attends the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. He used the book of his faith, the Bible. Barack Obama was sworn into the Presidency on Abraham Lincoln's Bible. Because Chief Justice Roberts read some of the words of the oath incorrectly when swearing Obama in as president, the Chief Justice went to the White House the next day to have the president repeat the oath. There was no Bible at this second swearing-in.
According to Fox News, President Obama was sworn in using a Lincoln bible borrowed from the Library of Congress. There is also a story that he had a Koran with him if that is what you are asking.
he already did :)
Senator Keith Ellison of Minnesota was sworn into office using Thomas Jefferson's copy of the Qur'an.
First, President Obama never said he would be sworn in on he Koran (Qur'an); that is an internet myth. He has never been sworn in on a Muslim bible ever in his entire political career, since he has never been a Muslim. He has a Muslim-sounding name, which he inherited from his biological father, but he was mainly raised by his grandparents, who were Protestant Christians. The president has repeatedly said he considers himself a Christian, and there is no reason to doubt him. But you may be confusing him with Keith Ellison, a congressman from Minnesota who is a Muslim and is sworn in on the Koran. Mr. Obama, however, has always used a Bible (Old and New Testament): in his first presidential inauguration in 2008, he used the famous Lincoln Bible.
Yes hè was
He used the same bible that Lincoln used.
Barack Obama will be sworn into office using Lincoln's bible.
Who are you referring to? He, does not tell us who you want to know about.
