• President's Fidelity to Oath On Autopilot? ; Lawmakers Cite Bill-Signing, Libya

One day after Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. helped President Obama bungle the oath of office on Inauguration Day 2009, the president held a do-over at the White House out of "an abundance of caution" over constitutional hiccups. Now, lawmakers are wondering where that caution has gone.

• Letters: More

Delusions of grandeur Speaker John Boehner pointed out in a press conference on July 22 that he takes the same oath of office as the President of the United States and has the "same responsibilities". I beg to differ. The Founding Fathers chose to define in Article I of the US Constitution the legislative duties while Article II defines the executive duties. If the duties and responsibilities are the same, why the two Articles?

• Felipe Calderon Takes Oath of Office As Mexico's President

The national anthem was then played, momentarily stilling the catcalls and shouting. Calderon swiftly left the chamber as congress adjourned.

• Md.'S Business and Legal Community Share Their Hopes and Fears for the Obama Administration

Daily Record reporters asked members of Maryland's business and legal communities what their hopes and fears were as Barack Obama takes the oath of office as the 44th president of the United States at noon on Tuesday. Some of his focus is right on in infrastructure, especially transportation, which is terribly important in Maryland. I'm hopeful that his emphasis on infrastructure would allow us to complete some worthy projects, like the Red Line. ... One thing you have to recognize is the huge amount of stimulus that's being put forward today may have some adverse consequences down the road in terms of inflation. You want to make sure there are no side effects of the fiscal drug we're about to take.

Obama no socialist If the author of a recent letter has some concrete evidence of our president breaking his oath of office or acting in a manner that is unconstitutional, she should bring that evidence to the attention of the proper authorities. Likewise, having heard or read the full text of all of the president's speeches abroad, I am unaware of any apologies for anything American. As for the claim that our president is a socialist in the extreme, his actions prove otherwise.

• Whose Foreign Policy Is It?

THE DAYLIGHT between the foreign policies of George W. Bush and Barack Obama has been shrinking ever since the current president took the oath of office. But last week made it official: When the story of America's post-9/11 wars is written, historians will be obliged to assess the two administrations together, and pass judgment on the Bush-Obama era. The death of Osama bin Laden, in a raid that operationalized Bush's famous "dead or alive" dictum, offered the most visible proof of this continuity. But the more important evidence of the Bush- Obama convergence lay elsewhere, in developments from last week that didn't merit screaming headlines, because they seemed routine rather than remarkable.
