On President Barack Obama's first full day as Commander-in-Chief his schedule was a full one. Dealing with cabinet positions, a late morning service at the National Cathedral, and making phone calls to several world leaders, were some of the things that kept him well occupied. All were scheduled on the agenda, but at the end of the day there was one piece of unfinished business that was abruptly added in sort of as a precaution. The president's last visitor to the White House was Chief Justice John Roberts who dropped by so that he could administer the oath of office to the new president. Because of the slight blunder in the oath at the swearing in, it was decided that in order to cast away any doubts (legal or otherwise), that they would do it over in order to satisfy the Constitution. There was no bible used for this retake, but everyone was assured that the oath was still legal and binding. With a less noisy setting, both men executed flawlessly. This marked the only time that the oath of office has been re-administered to an incoming president.
