Taft was sworn in as President in 1909, then became Chief Justice and swore in 2 Presidents: Coolidge in 1925 and Hoover in 1929. A President being administered his oath of office by a Former President. Lol
Here is some historical fact. FDR and Nixon are the only Presidents who were on a national ticket five times. FDR: 1920 as Vice Presidential candidate; 1932, 1936, 1940, 1944 as Presidential candidate. Nixon: 1952 & 1956 as Vice Presidential candidate; 1960, 1968, 1972 as Presidential candidate.
Taft was so afraid of dying before Hoover because Taft saw Hoover as too progressive and he thought Harlan F. Stone was going to replace him (he would later become Chief Justice in the 40's), he resigned after getting reassurance that Charles F. Hughes would replace him at Taft's request.
No, they weren't chief justice, the chief justice only swore in VPs a handful of times. Sometimes an outgoing VP swore in the new VP, but it really doesn't matter who swears a VP in. Andrew Jackson once swore in John C. Calhoun in 1825.

I think the oath should now be like: “I, (insert President-elect name here), 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, *maintain* and defend, the Constitution of the United States. So help me, God.” Also Hoover’s only words: “I do.”
"So help me God." Yeah, when Orange Man, possibly-soon-to-be-wearing-prison-orange Donald Trump took the oath, I watched on TV, shut it off and said "God help us all."
If I could, I would. The first sound recording of a Presidential oath I could find was for President Hoover. It wasn't until 1927 that sound recording became more widely used.
Eisenhower was the first to not kiss the bible. Instead opting to say a prayer. So why Presidents continued that route I think was just by custom. Though I'm not 100% sure.
Kissing the Bible may come back in the future. It just depends what each Presidents wants or don't want. The oath of office is the only law constitutionally is required. Everything else is not mandatory. For example, Reagan was the first President to change the oath to the west front of the capitol . And every President after has done the same. But no laws say where the oath can take place. It can take place at McDonald's if a Presidents want's to. And the oath can take anywhere even out of D.C. We may have a atheist President someday ? if that ever happens ? Their will be no Bible or "So help me God" That will be interesting.
@@texasborn2720 the day an atheist takes control, they should update the oath to something like Mexicos “and if I don’t (uphold etc) May the nation demand it”
It’s so sad to hear the excitement slowly leave FDR every time he does the oath. He went through a lot
Plus he was getting older and noticeably more tired
He only really got sick of it the 4th time. But still
FDR said it so many times he got tired of doing it.
Taft was sworn in as President in 1909, then became Chief Justice and swore in 2 Presidents: Coolidge in 1925 and Hoover in 1929. A President being administered his oath of office by a Former President. Lol
Here in Chile he is called President of the Supreme Court of Justice.
Chief Justice Hughes in 1941: Back again?
FDR: Yep
Here is some historical fact. FDR and Nixon are the only Presidents who were on a national ticket five times. FDR: 1920 as Vice Presidential candidate; 1932, 1936, 1940, 1944 as Presidential candidate. Nixon: 1952 & 1956 as Vice Presidential candidate; 1960, 1968, 1972 as Presidential candidate.
In case you didn't know Taft had died by the time Hoover left office.
Taft was so afraid of dying before Hoover because Taft saw Hoover as too progressive and he thought Harlan F. Stone was going to replace him (he would later become Chief Justice in the 40's), he resigned after getting reassurance that Charles F. Hughes would replace him at Taft's request.
@@Arthwin2013 So John Nance Garner and Henry Wallace became chief justices since Garner swore in Henry as VP, and Henry swore in Truman as VP
No, they weren't chief justice, the chief justice only swore in VPs a handful of times. Sometimes an outgoing VP swore in the new VP, but it really doesn't matter who swears a VP in.
Andrew Jackson once swore in John C. Calhoun in 1825.
Yea I no that why William h Taft during oath of office president Herbert Hoover but he die William Taft
FDR didn't even allow Hughes do the oath
He did, FDR just wanted to recite the entire oath. Hughes recited it before FDR did.

How do you do the evolution of the presidents how do you do that
McKinley To Coolidge Did not have could you please remaster it with sound?
If I could, I would.
The first sound recording of a Presidential oath I could find was for President Hoover.
It wasn't until 1927 that sound recording became more widely used.
That first constitutional oath for Obama’s first presidential term was so bad that it had to be retaken due to that mistake! 😭
Why is there no sound until Herbert Hoover?
Sound wasn't recorded with video until 1927.
sound didn’t exist back then, just like how the entire world used to be black and white back then.
