The inaugural ceremonies of the president-elect and vice president-elect are planned by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. Led this year by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, the committee oversees eight events on Inauguration Day:
the procession to the Capitol;
the vice president's swearing-in ceremony;
the president's swearing-in ceremony;
the inaugural address;
the honorary departure of the outgoing president and vice president;
the signing ceremony, during which the new president signs nominations, memorandums, proclamations or executive orders;
the inaugural luncheon;
and the pass in review, during which the president and vice president review military troops before leading the parade down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House.
The theme of this year's ceremonies is "Our Enduring Democracy: A Constitutional Promise."
SNN will be providing evening coverage starting at 6 PM MST.
