On February 28, 2019, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) was swearing in witnesses before a House Judiciary Subcommittee.
Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) made a point of parliamentary inquiry: âI think we left out âso help me God.ââ
Cohen replied: âWe did.â
Johnson asked âCan we have the witnesses do it again for the record?â
Cohen responded: âNo,â then added: âIf they want to do it, but some of them donât want to do it, and I donât think itâs necessary, and I donât like to assert my will over other people.â
Johnson responded:
âWell it goes back to our founding history, itâs been part of our tradition for more than two centuries and I donât know that we should abandon it now.â
