Great idea! You got my nom.

As a French taker, I feared to completely fail it, but at the end I got 100%. I guess that my semester of foreign constitutionnal right studies helped.

Not to quibble, but the Constitution does not say that the President must take an oath of office at his inauguration, but rather “Before he enter on the Execution of his Office”. The Constitution says nothing at all about there even being an inauguration.
