Yes. Some people are born with their heart on the Right side of their body this is called Dextrocardia Situs Inversus. So if you see someone putting their hand over the Right side of their chest during the pledge of allegiance, don't be offended. You don't know where their heart is.

While saying the Pledge of Allegiance, Americans show their loyalty by taking off their hats, covering their heart with their right hand, and so on.

Of course he does. There are some internet myths that have been circulating for years that claim he does not salute the flag, but these are false. There are many videos and photos of him with his hand on his heart during the pledge of allegiance. On the other hand, there were occasions during his first presidential campaign when he did not salute during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner. Placing one's hand over one's heart during the national anthem is a custom, however, and as you can see from many people at sporting events, not everyone does it.

By putting your right hand over your heart and facing the American flag.

please show a picture of obama using right hand for the pledge of allegiance.

You put your hand on your heart because it symbolizes you trust and love America.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted the hand-over-the-heart gesture as the salute to be rendered by civilians during the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem in the United States.

Yes, Barack Obama says the Pledge of Allegiance often, since the US Senate starts every session with the Pledge. There is a YouTube video showing Obama leading the Senate in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance (with his hand to his heart), and there are pictures showing Obama holding his hand to his heart for the Pledge on other occasions. This confusion was the result of a picture showing Obama standing without his hand to his heart, next to two other candidates who are holding their hands to their heart. But the photo's caption is incorrect, they are not reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, but rather standing for the National Anthem (which can be verified by watching a YouTube video of the event). This was during an informal, outdoor event for Democratic candidates. Although protocol suggests that the hand should be held to the heart during the National Anthem, observing any sporting event will show that only some Americans do so. But regardless of hand placement, most Americans stand respectfully during the National Anthem, which is what Obama was doing in that photograph. When his aides were asked about this, they replied that sometimes Obama puts his hand to his heart during the Anthem, and other times he does not.

I have heard two stories: It is the dominate hand of most people, therefore it is the most respected and strongest to show honor. It is the closest to the main artery of your heart. I don't know how valid either of these are as I am not a medical doctor or military expert.

If you are wearing a hat, you should remove it while saying the pledge of allegiance. You should also stand, and place your right hand over your heart.

"While rendering the salute to the Texas Flag, a person should stand erect, face the Texas Flag and hold their right hand over the heart." I think it has been changed, it "used" to be that you face the Texas flag and hold you hand out to where you elbo is at your side and our hand is out.

No. There are videos and pictures available on the web that show Barack Obama saying the Pledge of Allegiance on numerous occasions. This false rumor was spread with a picture that shows Obama standing next to Bill Richardson and Hillary Clinton. In the picture, Richardson and Clinton have their hand to their heart, but Obama does not. However, this was not taken during the Pledge of Allegiance, but rather during the singing of the National Anthem (which can be verified by watching a YouTube video of the event). This was during an informal, outdoor event for Democratic candidates. Although protocol suggests that the hand should be held to the heart during the National Anthem, observing any sporting event will show that only some Americans do so. But regardless of hand placement, most Americans stand respectfully during the National Anthem, which is what Obama was doing in that photograph. When his aides were asked about this, they replied that sometimes Obama puts his hand to his heard during the Anthem, and other times he does not. Regardless, there is a YouTube video showing Obama leading the Senate in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and his hand can clearly be seen on his heart.
