3. Why does the VP say it and not the President?
That makes no sense to me.

6. The President's oath is constitutionally mandated
The VP's isn't, so words can be added or deleted.

10. He gave him a chance, but Roberts didn't grab it quickly enough.
You've got one short speech, the most public and important of your career (we can only hope) and you didn't bother to read it before you decided to take the stage and wing it. Typical * appointee.

4. That's not even part of the Presidential Oath.
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

5. Before he enter on the Execution of his Office,
8: Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
