    • President Donald Trump broke a long-standing tradition during his inauguration when he didn't place his hand on the Bible, prompting some to blame Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who was administering the oath of office.

    Why It Matters

    It is tradition to use a Bible during presidential inaugurations, although not required by the U.S.

    Constitution. George Washington began the practice in 1789, and most presidents have followed this precedent, including Trump during his first swearing-in in 2017. However, this year, he opted just to raise his right hand and take the oath.

    Did Donald Trump Put His Hand On The Bible During Inauguration?

    During the ceremony, first lady Melania Trump held two Bibles—the Lincoln Bible, previously used by former Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama, and a family Bible gifted to Trump by his mother in 1955.

    While reciting the oath, Trump reportedly forgot to place his hand on either book.
