Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States
In 1957, Dwight D. Eisenhower took the oath of office with his hand on his West Point Bible open to Psalm 33:12. Presidents have been sworn in on Bibles opened to the book of Psalms more than any other book in the Bible - nine times throughout history!

About this Plan
While not required by the Constitution, the Bible has been used at nearly every single presidential inauguration since Abraham Lincoln. This eye-opening 9-day plan will show you just how deeply the Bible has impacted this famous American political event. You’ll see some of the Bibles and verses presidents chose for their swearing-in ceremonies and how they incorporated the words of the Bible into their inaugural addresses in order to articulate their vision to the American people.
