When Truman took his oath of office as president, what did he do that no president has done since (and possibly Washington did).


"...so help me God."

Huh

No, every president since has said that.

Franklin Pierce used the "affirm" instead of the "swear" option, no?

The first time was from his father, a notary public or a local justice of the peace.  He was later sworn in by a federal judge.  There was some question if a state officer could administer a federal oath.
