An Act to regulate the Time and Manner of administering certain Oaths

An Act to regulate the Time and Manner of administering certain Oaths[1] was the first law passed by the United States Congress after the ratification of the U.S. Constitution.Five days later, it appointed a committee to draft a bill on the manner of administration of the oath for members of Congress required under Article VI of the Constitution.The Senate committee charged with the bill added a section requiring state officials and legislators to take the same oath as members of Congress.The oath in the final bill differed from the original proposal by excluding the two clauses mentioning God, as well as the phrase "a Representative of the United States in Congress thereof."The full text of An act to regulate the time and manner of administering certain oaths at Wikisource
