Repeat After Me
(Fox News) - You may remember Vice President Joe Biden poked fun at Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts for flubbing President Obama’s inaugural oath.
But Monday, Biden swore in Hillary Clinton as secretary of state and discovered just how hard reciting an oath can be — even if you are reading from your own notes:
After smoothly saying and having Clinton repeat that she does "solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic," Biden, who was using a note card, faltered.
"... that I will bear — excuse me ... that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same ..."
He then continued without incident after a hearty laugh from the audience. Click here to see FOXNews.com's report on the incident.
Monday's event was ceremonial. Clinton was officially sworn in on January 21.
