Who was the last president to have a surplus in the federal budget?
Clinton did not have a surplus of $230B in the year 2000 because he had to borrow $246.5 From numerous other off budget funds. Clinton NEVER ran a surplus during his 8 years in office, he just borrowed yearly from different budgets, (primarily the SS budget) to offset the general fund losses. In 2000 the following funds were borrowed which resulted in a $16.5 deficit.
$152.3B from Social Security
$30.9B from Civil Service Retirement Fund
$18.5B from Federal Supplementary Medical insurance Trust Fund
$15.0B from Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund
$9.0B from the Federal Unemployment Trust Fund
$8.2B from Military Retirement Fund
$3.8B from Transportation Trust Funds
$1.8B from Employee Life Insurance & Retirement fund
$7.0B from others
Total borrowed from off budget funds $246.5B, meaning that his $230B surplus is actually a $16.5B deficit.
($246.5B borrowed - $230B claimed surplus = $16.5B actual deficit).
The last time the federal government ran a true suplus was 1969, the total surplus was $3.2B and before that was $1960, $.3 B
Translation, when you are taking more than you are spending,, that is a surplus, and we were not taking in more than we were spending under Clinton.

Who administers the oath of office to the president on inauguration day?
When the incumbent Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., was sworn in after Chief Justice William Rehnquist's death in 2005, Senior Associate Justice John Paul Stevens administered the Constitutional and Judicial Oaths of Office.
While there is no rule governing this tradition, swearing in the incoming Chief Justice is considered an honor, and would most likely fall to the Senior Associate Justice or the out-going Chief Justice, unless that person was unavailable to perform the ceremony.
A historical review of past Chief Justices' swearing-in ceremony shows no discernible pattern, however. To view a list of who administered the oath of office for each of the seventeen Chief Justices, see Related Links, below.
