I would say its safe to say the president requested this bible.
For the sixth time in history, a pre-revolutionary Bible owned by the Masonic order was to be used for the swearing in of a U.S. president.
George W. Bush had intended to take the oath of office as the nation's 43rd president on the historic Masonic bible. George Washington was the first, in 1789. The last was George H.W. Bush, who used the Bible in 1989.
On Friday, 19 January 2001, three officials of the Manhattan-based St. John's Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons boarded an Amtrak liner for Washington, D.C., carrying the nine-pound, 234-year-old King James Bible in a special container. At Union Station, they were met by inaugural committee officials and escorted to the inaugural site. They were literally waiting in the wings in a room adjacent to the inauguration platform when, at the 12th hour, a decision was made (attributed to the Vice President, but not confirmed) not to jeopardize the Bible because of the rain then pelting the area.

Good question!
Well first we must know if Washington had a "Masonic" bible. Next we need to know which bible is used. I would guess it is one they all used.
As far as the above on Carter I thought all ex presidents have acsess to certain CIA reports? Bush Senoior utilizes them I know.

they are guarded by using secret provider anyplace they bypass, and could be at equivalent possibility in a white low class area. Neither guy had a music checklist of racism yet they the two did what they might to oppress the unfavourable and the working class.

i do not know but it certainly is a relevant question. Tell one thing sorta similar when Carter asked Him to see the info the CIA had on extraterrestials he said no. I don't think that is cool no matter what the info that he had said.

what difference does it make which HOLY BIBLE was used? a HOLY BIBLE is a HOLY BIBLE. only difference is which version is preferred by one person over a different version.
