This is one of his oaths of office for the Senate, signed January 9, 1963, and is representative of the oaths taken by all members of Congress since 1884. The Constitution provides no details on how oaths should be given, but in 1789 the First Congress developed procedures for it and the oath has been taken by members since then.
