The inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States is happening in two weeks — marking his second swearing-in ceremony as commander in chief.
This year, the presidential inauguration lands on a federal holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and will take place in front of the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C.
Here’s what to know about the inauguration:
The inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump is set to take place Monday, Jan. 20.
The event starts with a procession to the U.S. Capitol for the swearing-in ceremony. Historically, the outgoing president accompanies the president-elect, according to the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC).
The president and vice president will have a swearing-in ceremony, followed by an inaugural address. After an honorary departure, the president will head to the President’s Room just off the Senate Chamber in the U.S. Capitol for a signing ceremony.
Other events include a luncheon and a procession of ceremonial military regiments, marching bands and floats down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House.
Each member of Congress will receive a limited allotment of tickets to share with constituents. To find and contact your members of Congress, use the search function on USA.gov.
The inauguration falls on the same day as MLK Day, Monday, Jan. 20.
