I suggest Grumps that you wrap that book in a different book cover jacket,  just because.
And indeed, as POTUS, I am sure that you could make a lot of hookers happy - heck even woman who aren't hookers.  I am sure that they would love doing it in the Lincoln bedroom with you. Leave the wife in Pittsburgh is my best advice. She probably wouldn't like DC anyway. Tongue

The Constitution or one of Jefferson's Bibles without the magic nonsense.

For local offices, you are almost never sworn on a book.

I think I'd be sworn on either:

The Constitution.

The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure, Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised, Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure.

Qur'an Wink

I'd probably go traditional and swear on the Bible, but the Constitution wold be appealing also.

I was joking. In reality, I would probably use the Torah.

To provide a serious answer -the Holy Bible, most likely.  Though I would not be averse to having a Muslim POTUS (as unlikely as that is) swear upon the Quran, or a Jewish POTUS swear upon the Talmud.

Nothing, and, unless there was some kind of penalty, I might not even show up for the ceremony.
