In 1853, Franklin Pierce affirmed the oath of office rather than swear it . More recently, a Catholic missal was used for Lyndon Johnson's 1963 swearing in ceremony . </P> <P> Bibles of historical significance have sometimes been used at inaugurations . George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter and Dwight D. Eisenhower used the George Washington Inaugural Bible . Barack Obama placed his hand upon the Lincoln Bible for his oaths in 2009 and 2013, as did Donald Trump in 2017 . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Four ruffles and flourishes played before "Hail to the Chief" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Problems playing this file?
