George Washington added the words "So help me God." to the end of the oath of office that he took when being sworn in as president. The actual wording of the oath is in Article II of the Constitution and does not contain that phrase. Washington added it on his own.

∙ 13y agoMany people have come to believe that Washington added "so help me God" to his oath of office, but there's actually no firsthand historical documentation to support this claim. It is also absolutely false to claim that most presidents have followed his example. The fact is that most presidents are not known to have used those words.
