For those inclined to interrogate President Obama’s political posture respecting the second oath, nothing embodies repudiation of your predecessor’s constitutional legacy better than honoring the small details. Former President Bush repeatedly abused the large principles, and his successor frequently said so during the presidential campaign. In re-taking the oath, President Obama said so again...
