Inauguration day is always filled with historic images and this one is going to be epic. We have all worked hard to see this day come to fruition. Our prayers are filled with thankfulness to God for his divine providence. Let us all celebrate together.
RSBN will be covering the events live all day, and we have links below to their broadcast as well as the general schedule for events that will take place throughout the day.
SCHEDULE – Monday, Jan. 20: Inauguration Day
Before the day’s ceremonies, an open, non-partisan service will be held at the St. John’s Episcopal Church in downtown D.C. After that, Donald and Melania Trump are set to head to the White House for tea with President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. Traditionally, the sitting president then escorts the incoming president to the Capitol.
♦ Around 9:30 a.m.: Live music, including Carrie Underwood’s performance of “America the Beautiful,” and opening remarks will begin on the West Lawn of the Capitol building.
♦ 12 p.m.: In line with the Constitution’s assertion that the transfer of power happens at exactly noon on Jan. 20, President Trump will take the presidential oath during the swearing-in ceremony. The swearing-in ceremony is traditionally when we should also expect President Trump to deliver his inaugural address. This year the event takes place in the Capitol Rotunda.
Things get a little confusing in sequence because President Trump previously announced. “We will open Capital One Arena on Monday for LIVE viewing of this Historic event, and to host the Presidential Parade. I will join the crowd at Capital One, after my Swearing In.”
A little after 12 p.m.: The official farewell and ceremonial departure of the former president and vice president. Typically, they leave in a helicopter.
Then comes the president’s signing room ceremony, during which the president, accompanied by aides and members of Congress, heads to the president’s room off of the Senate chamber and signs nominations, memorandums, proclamations, or executive orders.
Next is the JCCIC congressional luncheon at the Capitol’s Statuary Hall, which is attended by the president and vice president and their guests, Senate leaders and members of JCCIC.
After lunch, the new president and vice president head to the east front steps of the Capitol for the president’s review of the military troops.
Around 3 p.m.: The presidential parade normally kicks off on Pennsylvania Avenue and proceed to the White House. The procession includes ceremonial military regiments, citizens’ groups, marching bands and floats. However, this could be when President Trump heads to Capitol One Arena.
After this, President Trump returns to the White House for the Oval Office signing ceremony. Finally, President Trump and First Lady Melania will attend and deliver remarks at three separate balls: the Commander in Chief Ball, the Liberty Inaugural Ball and the Starlight Ball.
