Have judged, the above is correct. Obama tripped up...but nobody focused on that, instead focusing on the CJ That was my point.
Yes, President Obama got ahead of himself on the first stanza, and it was also pointed out. (At least on CNN). I've been sworn in to a few positions before and have stepped over the person issuing the oath after saying my name. Same thing happened to me while reciting my wedding vows. It depends on what cadence the deliverer of the oath chooses.
