When newly elected members of Congress raise their right hands to take the oath of office in January, they won’t be placing their left hands on the Bible or any other religious text.During official swearing-in ceremonies, newly elected members don’t place their hand on any book. However, individual members may choose to carry a sacred text.

“Some members carry a Bible. You don’t actually put your hand on a Bible. I can’t see how anyone would object to carrying a Qur’an,” said Senate historian Don Ritchie.

In Congress, the House speaker administers the oath to members en masse on the House floor. It’s up to individual members if they want to hold a religious text, said Fred Beuttler, House deputy historian.

First-time members are more likely to carry a sacred text or have their family and religious leader present for a staged ceremony in the speaker’s or their own office, Beuttler said.

The new members of Congress swear an oath to the Constitution, apparently, but no religious text is required. Right on. And no Mike Pence.
