President-elect Donald Trump will swear on two different Bibles during his inauguration ceremony at the United States Capitol on Friday, one of which will be the same Bible used by Abraham Lincoln during his first inauguration.
The Presidential Inauguration Committee announced on Tuesday that Trump, who will be sworn in as the 45th president, will use his own Bible and a Bible used by Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, when he took his first oath of office on March 4, 1861.
In addition, it was also announced that Chief Justice John Roberts will conduct Trump's swearing-in ceremony.
"In his first inaugural address, President Lincoln appealed to the 'better angels of our nature,'" PIC Chairman Tom Barrack said in a statement. "As he takes the same oath of office 156 years later, President-elect Trump is humbled to place his hand on Bibles that hold special meaning both to his family and to our country."
It'd be interesting to know how many and who's Bibles would be available for him to choose from.

It would be a safe bet to say it isn't obama's.
Hillary's is still burning, probably not the best choice....
I'd want Billy Graham's.
At least he isn't using the Koran like some others in DC have done

Hmm, trying to work out if you meant that she touched it or one of her brown-shirts burnt it.
He should have asked Sotomayor to swear him in. Just for the visual of heads popping all over DC.
Hope he makes a good president.
And you can bet your sweet azz that TRUMP will be sworn in OFFICALLY 30 seconds after midnight tonight!

Tomorrow is just all show!!
Obama also used 2 Bibles, one of them being Lincoln's. He didn't use a Koran like some think.

If that would be the case, I'd LOVE to see Obama trot out a long list of pardons at mid-morning only to find that they're invalid.

That is an interesting titbit.
You can see two bibles stacked in this shot.
