Why does he have to swear?

Today me and the kids sat and watched the Inauguration for almost an hour. They were really into it and asked all kinds of questions about people they saw, words that were used and why the prayer lasted for so long!
Jacob went upstairs after a while and I didn't know until about 30 minutes later that he was reading his copy of the constitution that John got for him on one of his trips. Jacob said he didnt understand how "a key could be divided equally"!! We'll have to read that part again...together!! :)


Do they realize how big of a day this is in History? Most likely not, but my hope is that they will remember a little part of this when they are older and the words they heard today somehow inspire them to do great things and know that WE ALL play a part in our own history, we all have to make choices that will better our lives!
