Are you even required to swear on anything at all? Are you supposed to? Like, could I just put my hand up and that's okay?

Military oaths work similar to this, I believe.

Which I think is the grounds for the presidential oath. He's commander in chief of the armed forces. So he takes a military-style oath.
