I found that edition in a bookstore once. I considered buying it, but instead returned it to the shelf…
The bible shelf, nestled among the bibles.

Didn’t one POTUS use exactly that for his Oath of Office?

They look a bit like waffle irons you might find on etsy.

Come to think about it, there probably are a couple of poems by Silverstein which you could use as an oath.

I might actually use a bible for this one:
Lieber Gott, nimm es hin,
daß ich was Besond’res bin.
Und gib ruhig einmal zu,
daß ich klüger bin als du.
Preise künftig meinen Namen,
denn sonst setzt es etwas. Amen.
(Robert Gernhardt: Gedichte 1954-1994, Zürich 1996, 37.)

Considering an elected official can swear on any book he/she likes, I’m amazed Trump didn’t swear on one of his own books, or a stack of them since there seem to be so many (if you google: “Trump Book” there are like twenty of them, with corny titles like “How To Get Rich” and “The Best Golf Advice I Ever Received.”)

Not that I know of. One President swore on a book of laws, open to the Constitution, and numerous others used no article at all. Lyndon Johnson swore on JFK’s Saint Joseph Missal, the only holy book they could find on Air Force One.

Why not do it the way the Romans did it?
