Speaker Pro Tem Bearden in the Chair.
Prayer by Father David Buescher.
God of good government, today our Nation swears in our Chief Executive. We Missourians of whatever political persuasion pray to You to guide and direct him in Your ways during these next four years.
We pray for our Nation, that we as a people of diverse colors, religions, and cultural traditions may be safe and sound in all ways. We pray for our Governor and Senators, our Speaker, and all these our Representatives. Insight and truth are from You – may we all share an extra portion of that spirit this day and forever. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
The Journal of the eighth day was approved as corrected by the following vote:
