The Chief Justicre yesterday showed just how fluid these adverbs can be. Obama had memorized the "set" form and the justice mixed it up a bit, thereby confusing the new president just a bit. I understand that the justice apologized later.

Hi,
1. I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States.
Also, should there be a "the" before "President"?
There is no 'the' because the term 'President' is used here as a title. That's also why it is capitalized.

Except that the EXACT words of the presidential oath are detailed in the Constitution, in quotes to show the wording.
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
