The Oath of Justice is an affirmation that the President takes after assuming the presidency. The Oath is on Article II, Section One, Clause 8 of the US Constitution. The Constitution doesn’t demand a specific person to administer the oath of justice but it is common that the one to do it is the Chief of Justice. There have been some exceptions, for example when George Washington was sworn by Chancellor of New York.
