The Ritual Pledge To Preserve Protect And Defend The Constitution
Additional Details:
| The Ritual pledge to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution" was made at 11:57 a.m. on Sunday by Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States. The Ceremony was private because the inaugural date required by the Constitution fell on a Sunday, and good thinking and planning dictated not scheduling it on he Sabbath or Super Bowl Day. Nancy, in her flattering, patriotic "Nancy Reagan Red" holds the president's mother's Bible. January 20, 1985. |
