I've read in a local paper that there's a lawyer here in Orange County (CA) who's threatening to file a separate lawsuit over every single action Obama takes as president, on the grounds that Obama isn't really an American citizen. I find such people amusing, but then I may have a strange sense of humor.

As I said, I'm just pretty confident that they would lose. I'm also relieved that, even with the word order mixup, the sentence is still grammatically sound as well. I really don't see how one could argue that the meaning was altered in any way whatsoever (thus I really don't think the second swearing in was necessary at all...it just added to the mess I think).
