A. Each president-elect has chosen a Bible to use. Several have used the one from the first inauguration, George Washington’s in New York in 1789 — George W. Bush, for example. Barack Obama will use the same burgundy velvet-bound Bible that was used by Abraham Lincoln at his first inauguration in 1861.
