Someone asked me about why George Bush and Dick Cheney weren't under oath in front of the 9/11 Commission. I don't know if you remember or not, but at the time, the media pundits were heavy on the idea that President's don't testify under oath. This is just one example of that, but I remember vividly a lot of people saying it. The person referenced on this page contradicts himself when he says, "Presidents do not go under oath" followed by "the one exception in recent years was Bill Clinton." He also says that Ronald Reagan did not testify under oath, however, according to the New York Times, that was not the case. "At one point, Mr. Reagan acknowledged the accuracy of one of his written answers provided under oath to the independent prosecutor for use before the Federal grand jury investigating the Iran-contra affair."
