Inauguration day
Inauguration always takes place at noon January 20. It is an official act of installing the President of the United States in office. It is also the occasion for extensive ceremonies.
Inauguration is connected with some traditions. Thus, the incumbent President is expected to give a dinner on the eve in honour of the President-Elect and in the morning of the same day to conduct him through the White House. By 12 o’clock on January 20, the participants of the ceremony and guests take their places on a rostrum especially erected in front of the Capitol. The central point of the ceremony is the taking of an oath by the President and the delivery of his inaugural speech. The wording of the President’s oath is laid down in the Constitution and runs as follows: “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”. The President’s Inauguration speech is regarded as a declaration of principles proclaimed by the new Administration.
The ceremony ends in a military parade. The scope of the ceremony depends on the tastes and wishes of the new President. It is known that John Kennedy invited large groups of intellectuals and prominent actors and singers. At the time of Nixon’s Inauguration balls, concerts and receptions continued for several days. If this was a great extravagance, it was also a tradition.
