why are presidents sworn in on the bible?
convention
by convention, incoming presidents raise their right hand and place the left on a bible or other book while taking the oath of office. in 1789, george washington took the oath of office with an altar bible borrowed from the st. john's lodge no. 1, ancient york masons lodge in new york, and he kissed the bible afterward. subsequent presidents up to and including harry truman, followed suit. dwight eisenhower broke that tradition in 1953 when he said a prayer instead of kissing the bible.

the main game takes place in the 3d top-down overworld of pi'illo island, where mario and luigi can explore the environment and fight side by side in battle. however, in order to rescue the pi'illo folk, who have become imprisoned in stone pillows, mario will have to enter the dream world via luigi's dreams. the dream world takes place in a 2d side-scrolling environment, where mario is joined by luigi's dream counterpart, dreamy luigi. throughout these dream world stages, players will find various phenomenons called luiginary works, which dreamy luigi can interact with. whilst dreamy luigi is embedded in a luiginary work, players can interact with the environment by touching the real world luigi on the touchscreen. for example, players can tweak luigi's moustache to manipulate a luigi-shaped tree to fling mario to new areas with its branches, or make luigi sneeze to create a gust of wind that blows blocks into the foreground. a recurring luiginary work sees mario take command of a stack of luigis known as luiginoids, which takes on new abilities and forms as the game progresses, such as smashing through blocks, creating whirlwinds and rolling down hills.
