"affirm' is the word that can be used in place of "swear". I believe that Franklin Pierce is the only president to use "affirm" so far.
As a Christian, President Obama swore on a Bible, just like his predecessors.

Franklin Pierce was the only president to say "I promise" instead of "I swear" at his inauguration. Herbert Hoover also affirmed the oath, which is a constitutional alternative to swearing.
