Oath of office of the Vice President of the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Vice President Mike Pence being administered the oath of office by Clarence Thomas on January 20, 2017.
The oath of office of the Vice President of the United States is the oath or affirmation that the Vice President of the United States takes upon assuming the vice-presidency but before he or she begins the execution of the office. Just before the president-elect takes the oath of office on Inauguration Day, the vice president-elect will step forward on the inaugural platform and repeat the oath of office. Although the United States Constitution—Article II, Section One, Clause 8—specifically sets forth the oath required by incoming presidents, it does not do so for incoming vice presidents. The constitution—Article VI, Clause 3— simply requires that they, along with all other government officers (federal and state; elected and appointed), pledge to support the Constitution. Since 1937, Inauguration Day has been January 20 (was March 4), a change brought about by the 20th amendment to the Constitution, which had been ratified four years earlier. The vice president's swearing-in ceremony also moved that year, from the Senate chamber inside the Capitol, to the presidential inaugural platform outside the building.[1]

Text[edit]
I, (state your name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.[2]
Background[edit]
The 1st Congress passed an oath act in May 1789, authorizing only U.S. senators to administer the oath to the vice president (who serves as the president of the Senate). Later that year, legislation passed that allowed courts to administer all oaths and affirmations. Since 1789, the oath has been changed several times by Congress. The present oath repeated by the vice president, senators, representatives, and other government officers has been in use since 1884.[1]
When the vice presidency was established in 1789, and for the century that followed, the Vice President was sworn in on the same date as the president, March 4, but at a separate location, typically in the United States Senate, where he holds the office of President of the Senate. Up until the middle of the 20th Century, the Vice President-Elect nearly always would be sworn in by the highest-ranking officer of the US Senate which was the outgoing vice president or the President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate. Sometimes, although not always, a short address would be given by the new vice president to the Senate.
The oath of office has been administered most by the President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate (last in 1925) for a total of 20 times. Others to give the oath of office include the outgoing Vice President (last in 1945) 12 times, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (last in 2017) 9 times, the Chief Justice of the United States (last in 2001) 6 times, U.S. Senators that are not President Pro Tempore of the Senate (last in 1969) 5 times, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives (last in 2005) 4 times, a US judge twice, and a foreign consul once with one time being unrecorded. Former Chief Justice Warren E. Burger has given the oath the most times with three.
Of the 59 times the Oath of Office has been administered, 47 times have been at some location in the United States Capitol. The White House has seen 3 oaths of office, and Congress Hall in Philadelphia twice. The following locations all had the oath administered once in that location: Federal Hall, Old Brick Capitol, Havana, Cuba, a private residence in New York, and the Number One Observatory Circle. Reflecting the relative lack of importance of the office in the early 1800s, there are two instances where the location of the Vice President's oath of office is unknown.
Due to Vice President-elect William King's deteriorating health, a bill signed on March 3, 1853, the last day of the 32nd United States Congress, allowed for the oath to be administered to him as he rested in Cuba.

Aaron James Judge (born April 26, 1992) is an American professional baseball outfielder for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB). Judge played college baseball at Fresno State. A right-handed batter and thrower, Judge stands 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 m) tall and weighs 282 pounds (128 kg), which makes him one of the biggest players in the major leagues.
The Yankees selected Judge in the first round of the 2013 MLB draft. After making his MLB debut in 2016 and hitting a home run in his first career at bat, Judge went on to have a record-breaking rookie season in 2017. He was named an All-Star and won the Home Run Derby, the first rookie to do so. Judge ended the season with 52 home runs, breaking Mark McGwire's MLB rookie record of 49 and the Yankees' full-season rookie record, previously held by Joe DiMaggio with 29. He also hit 33 home runs at Yankee Stadium, breaking the record of 32 set by Babe Ruth in the Polo Grounds in 1921, and set the record for most walks in a rookie season with 127.[1] He won the American League's (AL) Rookie of the Month Awards for April, May, June and September, as well as the AL's Player of the Month Award for June and September. Judge was unanimously selected as the AL Rookie of the Year for 2017 and placed second, behind José Altuve, for AL Most Valuable Player.[2]

Early life and amateur career
Judge was born and raised in Linden, California and was adopted the day after he was born by Patty and Wayne Judge, who both worked as teachers. When he was 10 years old, his parents told him that he was adopted; he recalls, "I knew I didn't look like them." Judge identifies as black.[3][4][5] He has an older brother, John, who was also adopted.[6]
Judge attended Linden High School, where he was a three-sport star. He played as a pitcher and first baseman for the baseball team, a wide receiver for the football team, and as a center for the basketball team. He set a school record for touchdowns (17) in football and led the basketball team in points per game (18.2). In baseball, he was part of the Linden High School team that made the California Interscholastic Federation Division III playoffs.[7][8]
Various colleges recruited Judge to play tight end in football, including Notre Dame, Stanford, and UCLA, but he preferred baseball. The Oakland Athletics selected him in the 31st round of the 2010 Major League Baseball draft, but he opted to enroll at California State University, Fresno (Fresno State) to play for the Fresno State Bulldogs baseball team in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). In 2011, Judge was part of a Fresno State team that shared the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) regular season title, won the WAC Tournament, and qualified for the 2011 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.[9][10] Louisville Slugger named him a Freshman All-American.[11] He won the 2012 TD Ameritrade College Home Run Derby.[12] In his junior year, Judge led the Bulldogs in home runs, doubles, and runs batted in (RBIs).[13] Judge was named to the all-conference team in all three of his seasons for the Bulldogs—in the WAC in his first two seasons, and the Mountain West Conference (MW) as a junior (the Bulldogs joined the MW in July 2012, between his sophomore and junior seasons).[13]

The Yankees drafted Judge in the first round of the 2013 Major League Baseball draft with the 32nd overall selection,[14][15] a pick the team received as compensation after losing Nick Swisher in free agency.[16] Judge signed with the Yankees and received a $1.8 million signing bonus.[17] He tore a quadriceps femoris muscle while participating in a base running drill, which kept him out of the 2013 season.[12][18] He made his professional debut with the Charleston RiverDogs of the Class A South Atlantic League in 2014.[12] He had a .333 batting average, .428 on-base percentage (OBP), .530 slugging percentage (SLG), and hit nine home runs with 45 RBIs in 65 games for Charleston. The Yankees promoted him to the Tampa Yankees of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League during the season, where he hit .283 with a .411 OBP, .442 SLG, eight home runs, and 33 RBIs in 66 games for Tampa.[13]
The Yankees invited Judge to spring training as a non-roster player in 2015.[19] Judge began the 2015 season with the Trenton Thunder of the Class AA Eastern League.[20] After Judge batted .284 with a .350 OBP and 12 home runs in 63 games for Trenton, the Yankees promoted Judge to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders of the Class AAA International League in June.[21] He was chosen to represent the Yankees at the 2015 All-Star Futures Game.[22] The Yankees decided not to include Judge in their September call-ups.[23] Judge batted .224 with eight home runs in 61 games for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.[24] The Yankees invited Judge to spring training in 2016, and he began the season with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Judge was named to the International League All-Star Team in 2016, but did not play in the 2016 Triple-A All-Star Game after he spent a month on the disabled list due to a knee sprain.[25][26] In 93 games for the RailRiders, Judge had a .270 batting average, 19 home runs, and 65 RBIs.[27]

Judge batting in 2016
Judge made his MLB debut on August 13, 2016, starting in right field against the Tampa Bay Rays.[28] In his first at-bat, Judge hit a home run off Matt Andriese; the previous batter, Tyler Austin, also making his MLB debut, had done the same. This marked the first time that two teammates had hit home runs in their first career at bats in the same game.[29] Judge also hit a home run in his second MLB game, becoming the second Yankees player to do so, after Joe Lefebvre in 1980.[30] Judge's debut season, in which he batted .179 and struck out 42 times in 84 at-bats (95 plate appearances), ended prematurely when he was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a grade 2 right oblique strain on September 13, 2016 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.[31]
2017
The Yankees named Judge their right fielder for Opening Day against the Tampa Bay Rays.[32] He had his first multi-home run game on April 28 against the Baltimore Orioles to help the Yankees win 14–11, coming back from a 9–1 deficit.[33] One of the home runs had a measured exit velocity of 119.4 miles per hour (192.2 km/h), the fastest exit velocity for a home run measured by Statcast since it was adopted in 2015.[34][35] Judge ended the month of April with 10 home runs, tying the rookie record set by José Abreu and Trevor Story.[36] He was named the American League's (AL) Rookie of the Month for April.[37] In April, he had a .303 batting average, 10 home runs, 20 RBIs, and a .411 OBP in 22 games.[38]
The Yankees debuted a cheering section in the right-field seats of Yankee Stadium on May 22, called "The Judge's Chambers", three rows in section 104, containing 18 seats.[39][40] Fans are chosen by the team to sit there and are outfitted with black robes, wigs, and foam gavels.[40][41] In a game against the Oakland Athletics on May 28, Judge hit his first career grand slam.[42] Judge was named AL Rookie of the Month once again for May. In May, he had a .347 batting average, seven home runs, 17 RBIs, and a .441 OBP in 26 games.[43]
On June 10, Judge hit a home run that had an exit velocity of 121.1 miles per hour (194.9 km/h), again setting a new record for the hardest measured by Statcast.[44] The following day, Judge went 4-for-4 with two home runs, one of which traveled 495 feet (151 m), which was the longest in MLB in the 2017 season.[45] On June 12, Judge was named the AL Player of the Week. His week ended with him leading the AL in all three Triple Crown categories.[46] Judge was named the AL Player of the Month for the month of June, batting .337 with 10 home runs, 25 RBIs and a .481 OBP. His performance in the month of June also earned him his third consecutive AL Rookie of the Month award, the longest streak since Mike Trout won four in a row in 2012.[47] Judge had a 32-game on-base streak, including reaching base in every game in the month of June.[48] On July 2, Judge was voted as a starting outfielder to the 2017 MLB All-Star Game, receiving 4,488,702 votes, the most out of any player in the AL.[49]
Judge broke Joe DiMaggio's record for most home runs hit in a Yankees' rookie season with his 30th on July 7.[50] He became the second rookie to hit 30 home runs before the All-Star break after Mark McGwire in 1987,[51] the first Yankee to do so since Alex Rodriguez in 2007[52] and the first player in baseball since Chris Davis and Miguel Cabrera in 2013.[53] Before the All-Star break, Judge hit .329 with 30 home runs and 66 RBIs.
Judge won the 2017 Home Run Derby, besting Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sanó 11–10 in the final round to become the first rookie to win the Derby outright.[54] Judge hit four home runs over 500 feet, one of which travelled 513 feet, the farthest in the Derby.[55] After his performance, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred stated that Judge is a player "who can become the face of the game."[56] On July 21, Judge a hit a home run that almost travelled out of Safeco Field. The ball was hit so hard that Statcast could not measure the details on the home run.[57]
On July 27, Judge lost a portion of his front left tooth during a celebration circle after Brett Gardner hit a walk-off home run.[58][59] The next game, Judge hit his 33rd home run of the season, for 37 home runs total through his first 125 career games, third-most in MLB history.[60] On August 17, Judge hit a 457-foot home run at Citi Field that reached the third deck but also struck out in the game, which marked 33 consecutive games with a strikeout, breaking Adam Dunn's record for a position player.[61][62] On August 20, Judge tied pitcher Bill Stoneman's streak of striking out in 37 consecutive games.[63][64]
On September 4, Judge became the first AL rookie to record 100 walks in a single season since Al Rosen (1950), and the first player in MLB to do it since Jim Gilliam (1953). During a game on September 10, Judge received his 107th walk, the most walks by a rookie in a season since Ted Williams in 1939.[65] During the same game, he also became the second rookie in MLB history to hit 40 home runs in a season since McGwire (1987).[66] He joined Babe Ruth (1920), Lou Gehrig (1927), Joe DiMaggio (1937) and Mickey Mantle (1956) as the only Yankees to hit 40 home runs in a season at age 25 or younger.[67] On September 20, Judge became the first player since José Bautista in 2010 and the first rookie to record 100 runs, 45 home runs, 100 RBIs, and 100 walks in a single season.[68]
On September 25, Judge hit his 49th and 50th home runs, tying and surpassing Mark McGwire's single season rookie home run record.[69] On September 30, Judge hit his 52nd home run of the season and his 33rd at Yankee Stadium, beating Babe Ruth's record for the franchise set in 1921.[70] After the conclusion of September, Judge won Player of the Month for the second time and Rookie of the Month for the fourth time, slashing .311/.463/.889 with 15 home runs, 32 RBIs, 28 walks and 29 runs scored. Entering September, Judge's second-half batting average was .179, but he managed to raise it to .228 by the end of the month.
Judge finished the 2017 season with a .284 batting average, 154 hits, 114 RBIs, a .422 on-base percentage, a .627 slugging percentage, a 1.069 on-base plus slugging, and nine stolen bases. He led the American League in three categories, with 128 runs scored, 52 home runs, and 127 walks (11 intentional). He became the first Yankee to lead the league in home runs, walks, and runs scored since Jason Giambi (who led the AL in walks in 2005), Mark Teixeira (who was the AL home run leader in 2009), and Curtis Granderson (who scored the most runs in the AL in 2011). He ranked second in the league in RBIs, on-base percentage, slugging, and OPS. He also struck out an MLB-leading 208 times,[71] breaking the Yankees record previously set by Curtis Granderson in 2012[72] and a rookie record previously set by Kris Bryant in 2015.[73]
With the Yankees finishing the year with a 91-71 record, the team clinched a Wild Card spot. During the AL Wild Card Round against the Minnesota Twins, Judge hit his first career postseason home run en route to an 8-4 victory.[74] In Game 3 of the ALDS, Judge robbed Francisco Lindor of a home run, preserving the tie game. Judge struck out 16 times in the series, setting an ALDS-record.[75] Judge hit three home runs for the Yankees in the ALCS, also robbing Yulieski Gurriel of a potential home run in the Game 7 loss to the Houston Astros, but finished with 27 strikeouts in the entire postseason, a major league record[76] (this record would be broken by Cody Bellinger in Game 7 of the 2017 World Series just 11 days later).[77]
End of season awards for Judge included selection as an outfielder on Baseball America's All-MLB Team,[78] the Players Choice Award for Outstanding AL Rookie, and a Silver Slugger Award.[79] Judge was unanimously voted as the American League Rookie of the Year (making him the 9th AL rookie and 22nd overall).[80] He went on to finish second in the voting for the 2017 American League Most Valuable Player Award to José Altuve, receiving two first-place votes, 27 second-place votes and one third-place vote.[81] He led MLB in average exit velocity among players with a minimum of 12 batted ball events.[82]
On November 21, it was revealed that Judge underwent arthroscopic surgery in his left shoulder for a cartilage cleanup, an injury dating back to April of that year.[83][84]

Aaron Judge with the Yankees in 2018
On March 31, Judge made his first career start at center field in the majors. At 6'7" and 282 pounds, he became the tallest and heaviest player in baseball history to play the position.[85][86]
On April 16, Judge became the fastest player in MLB history to reach 60 home runs, doing so in 197 games compared to Mark McGwire's 202 games.[87]

Uniform
Judge has worn the unusual uniform number of 99 since it was given to him during 2016 spring training[95] (higher numbers are often given to young players who are not expected to make the regular-season team). Judge has stated he would prefer either No. 44 (retired by the Yankees to honor Reggie Jackson) or No. 35 but is not sure whether he would switch if the latter two were to become available.[95]
MLB along with the MLB Players Association, created Players Weekend to let players 'express themselves while connecting with their past in youth baseball'. From August 25–27, 2017, players wore alternate team jerseys inspired by youth league designs. They also had the option to replace their last names with their nicknames on their jersey nameplates, and the vast majority of players did so. Judge chose the nickname "All Rise" (given to him by former teammate Todd Frazier) to be worn on the back of his jersey nameplate.[96]
Player profile
Judge is listed at 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 m) and 282 pounds (128 kg). Due to his large size and strength, he has elicited comparisons to Giancarlo Stanton, Richie Sexson,[97] Dave Winfield, and Willie Stargell.[13][6]
Pregame rituals
Judge has been credited as a team leader both on and off the field[98]. He has a number of rituals before, during, and after games that set him apart from other players. According to Michael Kay (as discussed during The Michael Kay Show), before each game at Yankee Stadium, Judge ceremoniously tosses exactly 40 sunflower seeds in the grass behind home plate (one for each man on the extended Yankees roster.)[99] The prayer he recites after he tosses the seeds is unknown to the public.[100]
Personal life
Judge is a Christian and has posted about his faith on his Twitter account.[101] He keeps a note on his phone that reads ".179", his batting average with the Yankees in 2016, and looks at it daily as a source of motivation.[102] Judge appeared on the cover of the edition of May 15, 2017 of Sports Illustrated.[103] On May 15, 2017, he appeared on an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where he posed undercover to ask Yankee fans questions about himself.[104] On November 6th, 2017, it was revealed that Judge would be the cover athlete for MLB The Show 18, [105] as well as an endorsement deal with Pepsi.[106] For the 2018 season, Judge signed an endorsement deal with Adidas, finishing his contract with Under Armour he had since 2014.[107] Judge has earned praise for his humble personality and willingness to be a team player.[108]

Master craftsman

Craftsman Selling Cases By A Teak Wood Building Ahmedabad, by Edwin Lord Weeks
A master craftsman or master tradesman (sometimes called only master or grandmaster) was a member of a guild. In the European guild system, only masters and journeymen were allowed to be members of the guild.
An aspiring master would have to pass through the career chain from apprentice to journeyman before he could be elected to become a master craftsman. He would then have to produce a sum of money and a masterpiece before he could actually join the guild. If the masterpiece was not accepted by the masters, he was not allowed to join the guild, possibly remaining a journeyman for the rest of his life.
Originally, holders of the academic degree of "Master of Arts" were also considered, in the Medieval universities, as master craftsmen in their own academic field.

Today's master craftsman in different countries[edit]
United Kingdom[edit]
This tradition originates in Medieval Europe. The earliest guilds were "frith" or "peace" guilds - groups bonded together for mutual protection following the breakdown of the kins, which were groups related by blood ties.
Merchant guilds - associations of international trades - were powerful in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, but lost their ascendancy with the rise of the craft guilds - associations of master craftsmen, journeymen, apprentices and the various trades connected with a particular craft.

The world-renowned College of Arms in London awarded the coat of arms of The Guild of Master Craftsmen in 1992, after four years of assessment. Designed by heraldic expert Peter Greenhill to reflect the many categories of Guild membership, it features: three escutcheons (shields) to represent artists, painters and stainers; a pair of compasses opened in chevron for building, construction and carpenters; a dovetail (separating the top third of the shield from the rest) to represent cabinetmaking, woodworking and joinery; and a gavel and chisel for masons and stoneworkers. The southern keep of Lewes Castle, which overlooks the Guild’s headquarters, is featured above the helmet as the crest.
United States[edit]
While, for the most part, guilds as such do not exist, many trades continue the apprentice-journeyman-master model. Carpenters, electricians, pipefitters and plumbers are notable examples. There is also the United States Bartenders Guild, which, through a series of tests, grants bartenders the title of Master Mixologist. Even in academia, the tradition survives, with elementary, middle and high school completing general education; with post secondary degrees awarded in the Associates, Bachelor and Master levels; and PhD students as apprentices, post-docs and associate professors as journeymen and full professors as masters. [1] [2] [3]
The doctoral thesis which needs to be presented in order to get an academic degree, proving the student's proficiency in the chosen subject and whose quality is examined by existing lecturers, is in effect a form of the medieval masterpiece which needed to be prepared by anyone seeking to be accepted as a master in any professional guild.
The terms Master Mariner and harbormaster reflect the fact that the holders of such positions were originally Master craftsman in the Seamen's Guild. Further derived from "harbormaster" is "stationmaster", though guilds no longer existed when railways came into being.
Germany[edit]

In Germany, the master craftsman (Meister) is the highest professional qualification in crafts and is a state-approved grade. The certification is called Meisterbrief. The qualification includes theoretical and practical training in the craft as well as business and legal training. Additionally, it implies the qualification to train apprentices. These qualifications prepare the Meister for running their own business or alternatively for higher positions at a company. The status of master craftsmen is regulated in the German Gesetz zur Ordnung des Handwerks (Crafts and Trades Regulation Code).
While privileged guilds have been abolished in Germany, the ranks of apprentice (Lehrling), journeyman (Geselle) and master craftsman have been retained even through modern times. For security-relevant crafts, e.g., electricians and chimney sweeps, any business in the trade has to be run by a master craftsman or has to employ at least one Meister.
Journeymen and master craftsmen are by law automatically members of their regional chamber of crafts (Handwerkskammer), which is a self-governing public body. The chamber organizes vocational training and oversees the examination of the journeymen and masters.
To become a master craftsman, it is usually required to have completed vocational training in the craft in which the examination should be taken, which finishes with a final examination called Gesellenprüfung (journeyman's examination), and to have practical experience of at least 3 to 5 years as a journeyman (Geselle). If these requirements are fulfilled, the candidate can take courses for the Meisterprüfung (master craftman's examination). The duration of the courses takes 4 to 6 years depending on the craft. The examination includes theoretical, practical and oral parts and takes 5 to 7 days (depending on the craft). In some crafts, the creation of a masterpiece is also part of the examination.
The German Meister qualifies the holder to study for a bachelor's degree at University, whether the Meister holds a regular university entrance qualification or not.[1] According to the German Qualifications Framework, the Meisterbrief is at the same level as a bachelor's degree, even though it is not an academic degree and thus not directly comparable.[2]
