At a Brief Ceremony, Obama Begins Second Term

“I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States,” with these words, President Obama constitutionally began his second term in office at a brief oath-taking ceremony administered by Chief Justice John Roberts, at the Blue Room of the White House yesterday, a few minutes before noon.

Earlier yesterday, the oath of office was administered on Vice-President Joe Biden by Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor at the US Naval Observatory, the official residence of the vice-president.
