Today is a big day, a very big day. Health and safety concerns have caused a lot of changes in what we might normally expect, but today is still a big day! The inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States in just a few hours, marks the beginning of the four-year term of Joe Biden as president and Kamala Harris as vice president. Today is a new beginning. Today is a big day.
The oath will be administered to the vice president first. Immediately afterward, the United States Marine Band will play four Ruffles and Flourishes, followed by Hail, Columbia. Joe Biden soon afterward recites the constitutionally mandated oath of office for President: "I do solemnly swear 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."
Some of the details for today's event keep changing. There really is a lot to take into consideration. Usually there are huge crowds, but people are being urged to stay away and to instead watch on tv or the internet. More details about the Inauguration are available at bideninaugural.org and you can also watch at youtube.com/bideninaugural Most of the networks will also be covering everything live.
It is a big day America, a very big day!
