I have read many reasons why this was done. Conspiracy theorist come with a lot of imagination these days. The first oath was done over the 1861 Bible President Lincoln used wich is not mandatory as only a tradition started by The first President George Washington. I believe an oath is like baptism. Once you baptise you dont need to baptise again, you just follow along with your faith the rest of your life. Obama took an oath over The Bible and one is just enough for the rest of his presidential mandate.

Did Barack Obama use a Bible at his second Oath of office?

I assume you are referring to when Chief Justice Roberts read the oath incorrectly the first time, during the president's January 2009 inauguration. Just to be on the safe side, the oath was re-administered the next day; it was done in the Map Room at the White House, and no Bible was used, since it was not necessary. (The president had used a Bible the previous day, and the oath was considered valid, even if the wording was slightly out of order.)


What were the two books President Obama used when he was sworn into a second term of office at his 2013 inauguration?

Barack Obama has always used a Holy Bible when he took the oath of office, contrary to internet myths. He took the oath in 2008 on the Bible used by Abraham Lincoln. He did that again in 2012, in addition to using a Bible that Martin Luther King used.


What bible-oth did Obama read?

I assume you're asking about the Presidential Oath of Office he read on Tuesday. What he read was not actually FROM the bible, his oath is sworn with his hand ON the bible (in his case, Abraham Lincoln's bible) so he is taking the oath "under the eyes of god" or something like that. Basically it's a sin to lie with your hand on the bible. However, the oath itself is from Article II, Section I from the U.s. Constitution.
