As provided for in Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, the Presidential oath of office concludes with the words “So help me God.” True or False?

False. There is no law saying the President, or Vice President has to say 'So help me god', or even use a bible. He can take the Oath with his hand on a comic book and it would still be valid.
