But the Quran isn't traditional. 
I think what's sacred is that every president before did the same thing. It's the tradition that is honored and valued, not the fact that it's a bible. If every president since the beginning of our country had sworn in on a dictionary, it would be just as sacred.
eta: well, maybe a little less sacred for the religious people

Not to derail, but can somebody explained this?
That doesnt look right at first glance.

Queens is a borough. It is divided into neighborhoods, one of them named Jamaica.

Because politics and religion should be separate in 2017
First of all, it is separate in the sense that the government cannot and does not force the people to worship a certain god or adhere to a specific set of religious beliefs. That was the intent of the founders and we continue that today.
Secondly, for many who are religious, those beliefs are a part of who we are and they influence our choices and how we approach life. A person who is religious will have those convictions color how they approach even their work lives, especially in terms of ethics. Politics and government are no different in that regard.
