One Week

No, I’m not talking about the #1 Billboard hit by Canadian pop group The Barenaked Ladies.

That’s how long it is until Donald John Trump is inaugurated for his second term as President.

The official swearing-in is scheduled to start at 1200 Monday 20 January. Prior to that, there are musical performances and other entertainment scheduled. We will be live streaming the swearing-in here at MVAP.

Following the swearing-in there is a traditional signing ceremony where the newly sworn President will sign the nominations for his cabinet. Shortly thereafter, the President will attend a luncheon with select members of Congress.

Then there will be a parade. It starts around 1430 at the Capitol and travels down Pennsylvania Ave ending at LaFayette Park adjacent to the White House. It will include a pass and review by select military units.

Trump will attend three inaugural balls that evening, the “Commander in Chief Ball,” the “Liberty Inaugural Ball” and the “Starlight Ball,” and he is expected to speak at all three according to the transition team.
