As someone who is supremely ignorant of how US ambassadors are normally sworn in, can someone tell me what the usual practice is. When people take an oath, I assume it is normally on a bible. But the above references to "amendments" make me wonder if the US constitution might be used. Is that right?
And if it's a bible, what do people other than from Judeo-Christian religions do? Does it have to be a book (paper or electronic)? And does the swearee get to choose?
Sorry if these sound like stupid questions, but the article got me thinking.
