from Ohio?
  There was no objection.

Ohio delegation present themselves in the well.

  Do you solemnly swear or affirm 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 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 a Member of the 110th 
Congress.
