In 25 seconds, President Obama became president again.
WASHINGTON — In 25 seconds, President Obama became president again.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. re-administered the oath to Mr. Obama on Wednesday evening, one day after the two men stumbled over each other’s words during the inauguration ceremony at the Capitol.

For their do-over, the two men convened in the White House Map Room at 7:35 p.m. for a brief proceeding that was not announced until it was completed successfully.

“Are you ready to take the oath?” Chief Justice Roberts said.

“I am,” Mr. Obama replied. “And we’re going to do it very slowly.”

8. Constitution says not really
The 20th amendment clearly states, without any oath requirement, that Obama became president at 12 noon on January 20th. The oath is a formality.
