An oath taken before officially taking office.
Chief Justice Burger cut into my reverie. "Mr. Vice President," he asked, "are you prepared to take the oath of office as President of the United States?" Betty was holding the Bible. I placed my hand on it, repeated the oath and then walked over to the podium.
