Oh, wait.
To be fair, the oath isn’t binding - he didn’t have his hand on the Bible when he took it (probably because it would have caught fire).

So what? He says he didn't know he was to uphold the Constitution, but when he swore his oath of office those words were directly in his oath -- ergo, he's lying when he says he doesn't know.
Legally binding? Not sure, but it has little to do with the Bible. Two Presidents have sworn in without that book. But he may lose more than an ear in testing it. Impeachment seems to be the answer, but that doesn't seem likely in this era of a pusillanimous Congress. It may fall to the people to remove him from office.
