Il giuramento del Presidente è previsto nella Costituzione: "Giuro solennemente che svolgerò con fede i doveri di Presidente degli Stati Uniti, e che al meglio delle mie abilità preserverò, proteggerò e difenderò la Costituzione degli Stati Uniti". La frase "Che Dio mi aiuti" non è prevista dalla Costituzione ma è stata sempre pronunciata al termine del giuramento.
