Thanks to Josh Lyman for pointing out that would be completely constitutional.
I can't remember the joker who started this thread-but mate, if you want tradition and arbitrary, unjust, outdated, anachronistic, meaningless conventions that stifle freedom, COME TO THE UK!
You're in the wrong country to moan about tradition-the US has always been about progress, liberty, freedom etc-and abolitoning corrupt tyrnannies and traditions.

God Save the King.

That would be so awesome.



But really, can't the just swear their oath on the book of the law or something?

They could, but fundamentalist Christians would have a fit, and the last thing a new office holder needs is a bunch of angry people writing them angry letters and protesting out in front of their home.

CHANGE IS GOOD BUT TOO MUCH CHANGE IS HARMFUL...what happens next?? They don’t have to even stay at the white house, they can take weeks off at a time...they can skip a state of the union address. ITS TRADITION PEOPLE...come on get with the program. To be somewhere and when the Pledge of Allegiance is being said...again that is a pledge to our country... To not place a hand on the heart or even attempt to show respect!!!! CHANGE IS GOOD BUT TOO MUCH CHANGE IS HARMFUL!! Also here is an EXACT quote from the church that Obama is from...."A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA." ---so what happens when something that has to do with Africa comes up and Obama says..."NO" we will not do that...and if he does is abolished from his church and ridiculed forever...not the man I want leading our country. He is just to gosh darn ARROGANT!!!! So before you people walk into the polls in the upcoming primaries, and God I hope you do....THINK before you vote don’t just vote Obama because it’s the "cool" thing to do. I hate when people are ridiculed for being a Hillary fan in a public place b/c they are a man... That’s BS. Don’t vote Obama to be cool...VOTE on what YOU BELIEVE not what the media displays to you.
And just so you know, here is a recent stat from the exit polls in the past primaries.... in many states Obama has captured 93% or more in many places of African American votes....9% of which have gone to college. Also very recently Obama has been swinging the white vote to his side...Out of those two groups, when asked....Obama's stance on Health care??....12% answered correctly......when asked Obamas stance on Border control?? 14% answered correctly...WHEN ASKED WHAT RELIGION HE WAS?? 4% answered correctly. When asked where he was from?? 49% answered correctly. THOSE NUMBERS ARE ALAMRING..that tells me people are voting for him and they don’t even know what he is about....and im not saying Hillary voters aren’t as unintelligent...all im saying is that this election(the democratic nomination process) at least is becoming a POPULARITY CONTEST....AND A HISTORY MAKING CONTEST its all about the first this person and that person....one last time guys....before hitting the polls THINK AND RESEARCH FACTS ABOUT NOMINEES BEFORE GOING IN AND DOING WHAT YOUR FRIENDS THINK IS "in"...Thanks guys(for those who read this)

I agree completely with this guy. You should all vote for Hillary!! Please please please vote for Hillary.

McCain will kick the snot out of her in the general election. Obama's a different story, he'll be tough to beat. So once again, PLEASE VOTE FOR HILLARY!!

Besides after the dirty trick she has tried with the Michigan and Florida primary votes (proving she's just as untrustworthy as her husband was), she deserves a good butt-whooping.

Wow, all the other cross overs I've talked to are voting for Hillary. She supposedly has "no chance" against McCain. That kind of thing is actually why I think the primary system (and the electoral college, and the near-impossibility of independent and third party victories, and earmarking, and...man, we need to change freaking everything) needs to be fixed.
