  The SPEAKER. According to precedents, the Chair will swear in all

follows:
  Do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the 
Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and 
domestic; that you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; 
that you will take this obligation freely, without any mental 
reservation or purpose of evasion, and that you will well and 
faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which you are about to 
enter. So help you God.
  The SPEAKER. Congratulations. You are now Members of the 109th United 
States Congress.
