U.S. presidents aren't legally required to use a Bible for inauguration oath, despite tradition.

U.S. presidents are not required to swear on a Bible during their inaugurations, as the Constitution only mandates an oath or affirmation to preserve and protect the Constitution. While many presidents have used a Bible for tradition, it is not a legal requirement. Donald Trump did not place his hand on a Bible during his oath, which is within constitutional guidelines.
