NEWS ALERT: PRESIDENT ELECT JOSEPH R. BIDEN WILL BE SWORN IN AS THE NATION’S 46TH PRESIDENT & VICE PRESIDENT ELECT KAMALA D. HARRIS AS THE 49TH VICE PRESIDENT ON JANUARY 20, 2021 AT 12 P.M.
According to the United States Constitution Amendment XX Section 1 it states, "The terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January...and the terms of their succes- sors shall then begin.”
President Elect Joseph R. Biden and Vice President Elect Kamala D. Harris will be sworn in as the newly elected President and Vice President of this nation during the 59th Inauguration Ceremony. It will take place at the West Front of the Capitol building. The theme will be “Our Determined Democracy: Forging A More Perfect Union.”
Biden will be the 46th President and Harris will be the 49th Vice President. They will succeed President Trump & Vice President Pence.
Vice President Elect Harris will be sworn in first followed by President Elect Biden. The oaths for Vice President and President are different from one another. But both state that Biden & Harris will swear to defend the United States Constitution.
Usually, the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court swears in the President Elect and an Associate Justice swears in the Vice President Elect. The current Chief Justice is John Roberts.
President Elect Joseph R. Biden will be the second president in U.S. History to belong to the Roman Catholic religion. The first president was John F. Kennedy.
Since the November 3rd election there have been numerous vote counts, legal challenges, the states' electors certified the votes and during the early morning of January 7th the U.S. Congress finally declared Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the president elect & vice president elect.
After they take the oath of office it is time for all Americans to put past political differences aside and unite behind our new President & Vice President. To quote Rodney King from 1992 “Can't we all get along?"
Let's show our allies and adversaries that our nation truly is the United States of America and not the Divided States of America. This is the only way to return unity and peace to our great country. Let America be a beacon and role model once again for freedom everywhere in the world.
