    The inauguration ceremony of the US President
  • The inauguration ceremony of the US President marks the commencement of his four-term term as the President.

    The ceremony takes place even if the President continues for a second term.

    The inauguration has been taking place on 20 January at noon, since 1937.

    The Chief Justice administers the oath to the president.

    Since 1981, the inauguration has been held at the Capitol's West Front.

    Credits:
  • The US election was held on 8 Nov'16 but Donald Trump doesn't officially become President until 20 Jan'17.

    Until 1933, the President was inaugurated on 4 March, four months after election.

    The gap was shortened to two months after the 20th Amendment was ratified.

    It allows the outgoing President to "tie up loose ends" and for the incoming one to prepare for his tenure.

  • Continuity

    However, over the years, several traditions have arisen, which expanded the inauguration from a simple ceremony to a day-long event.

    The ceremony includes parades, speeches, and also balls.

    The traditions surrounding presidential inaugurations are among the best examples of continuity during the political change.
