More information about Final Jeopardy:
Following the death of Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge took the Presidential Oath of Office at his family home in Vermont (as he was visiting his family there when he received word of Harding’s death). His father, a Vermont notary public and justice of the peace, administered the oath at 2:47 am on August 3, 1923.
The Gospel of John in the New Testament opens with “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”; this is similar to the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament, which opens “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
