      You can use anything you want. I don’t think the courts can literally refuse it as long as it’s reasonable.

      Although the only time I ever had to do it they didn’t have a Bible they just had a person swear me in. But that was just as a witness so maybe that was the reason.

          Depending on what country, probably. Someone has sworn an oath on a river before.

    John Quincy Adams used a book of law to swear in as president.

      The Constitution says “swear or affirm”, not just “swear”. That clause accommodates Quakers and Jehovah’s Witnesses.
