Merlyn_LeRoy Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I had heard about Nixon affirming too, but the library of congress only indicates Pierce and Hoover as affirming: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/pihtml/pinotable.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJCubScouter Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 OGE, that's interesting, I knew that both Hoover and Nixon were Quakers (and therefore taught not to "swear oaths") but I had read that Nixon did "solemnly swear" and say "so help me God" when he took the oath, anyway. Hoover did say "affirm." I did not know about Pierce or T. Roosevelt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packsaddle Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Unc, I would forgive Nixon's language in a heartbeat if his other actions hadn't resulted in silence for so many heartbeats. My response to Farah: Anyone who wants to eliminate that source of funding to the ACLU can do so instantly. The prospective defendants merely need to stop breaking the law.
