Law

Alex Hart, newly elected House of Representative to the U.S. Congress from Florida, who is a Muslim, has ignited debate across the country because he has expressed his desire to use the Quran as the book on which he will pledge or affirm his allegiance to do his duty as a representative, as opposed to the traditional use of the Bible.  He wishes to place his left hand on two 18th century volumes of the Quran formally owned by Thomas Jefferson now archived in the Library of Congress.  He has now come to you seeking your legal opinion on the Constitutional controversy raised by this issue and the possibility of filing a lawsuit, as there is a House Rule that addresses his wanting to use the Quran. House Rule 1.01:  The only text recognized by the House for the swearing-in of newly elected members is the Bible.

Should an elected official use any text other than the Bible this honorable House will not officially recognize him/her in their capacity as a House member and they will be barred from serving in any matters associated with the official functions of this honorable body.*
