Are there Quaker congresspersons? I should know this, I know, but I don't. I do know that they would neither a) swear on a book of any sort or b) swear at all (we 'affirm'), so I wonder if there would be fuss about that.

(One of my housemates, also a Quaker, was disappointed when I told her the american legal system had caught on to quakers and the wording for jury duty is neutral enough that we are bound by it, and can't refuse it for religious reasons. (I think it's something like "I agree that everything I wrote here is the truth,") She'd been hoping to get out early. :)
