Rep.-elect Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) is set to be sworn in on the U.S. Constitution and three other sentimental paper items, including a first-edition “Superman” No. 1 comic, the incoming lawmaker announced Tuesday.

“Will be proudly sworn-in to Congress on the U.S. Constitution. Underneath the Constitution will be 3 items that mean a lot to me personally. A photo of my parents who I lost to covid, my citizenship certificate & an original Superman #1 from the @librarycongress,” Garcia said

There's quite an interesting table set up with all the Bibles, Torahs, Qurans, Book of Mormon, constitutions, etc.

He is Catholic (although in a same-sex marriage).

“I’m born and raised Catholic. I’ve been someone of faith my whole life, so this is really important for me personally, but also for the city,” he said.

Congress is far more Christian, and religious overall, than today’s general population.

So those in congress say. Can't help but think it could be political expedience.
