The father, Colonel John C. Cool idge, is a notary public, holding a commission issued by the state of Vermont. The question is whether this la sufficient authority to make binding the obligation, or whether a strict compliance with the con stitution would require the admin istering official to hold a federal commission empowering him to ad minister oaths. The president, according to Sec retary Clark, regards the oatU ad ministered by his father all that is required and he has no intention of taking a second oath. He desires, however, to be sure that the judi cial authorities agree with him in the matter. The two vice presidents succeed ing to the presidency preceding President Coolidge were Roosevelt and Arthur. President Arthur took the oath twice. President Roosevelt only one* In the case of President Arthur he was first sworn in by the chief Justice of the New York supreme court, holding a state commission, and upon his arrival in Washington had Chief Justice White, of the United States supreme court, ad minister the oath again.
