Chief justice gets it right, Obama stumbles during presidential oath

In front of hundreds of thousands gathered to watch, Obama stammered briefly as he repeated the words “the office of president of the United States.”

Obama had already been officially sworn in for a second term on Sunday, in accordance with the Constitution, which requires presidential terms to begin on Jan. 20.

In 2009, it was Roberts who famously flubbed Obama's official swearing in. As a result of that mistake, Roberts and Obama repeated the presidential oath in a private ceremony to ensure there were no constitutional issues.
