US President-Elect Trump to Take Oath of Office
Donald Trump will become the first U.S. president to serve non-consecutive terms since the 1890s.
Inauguration Details
At age 78, he will be inaugurated on Monday in a scaled-back ceremony at the Capitol which has been moved indoors due to the extreme cold weather conditions in Washington. Current President Joe Biden, 82, will step down after one term.
Parade and Celebrations
The traditional parade along Pennsylvania Avenue has been moved indoors to the Capital One Arena, where bands and officials will honor Trump. Evening celebrations will include formal balls. The event will be attended by politicians and celebrities from all over the world.
Ticketed Guests
Many of the more than 220,000 ticketed guests who had been set to watch from the U.S. Capitol grounds will be unable to watch in person as Trump takes the oath of office. The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement that the ticketed outside areas on the West Front of the Capitol will be closed Monday.
Trump’s Promises
In an email to House of Representatives offices, the House Sergeant at Arms asked congressional offices to tell their constituents who had been given tickets that they were now “commemorative” since most of them will not be able to watch in person as Trump becomes president.
Trump addressed supporters Sunday, promising to fix national crises “with historic speed and strength.” On his first day in office, he plans to sign a number of executive orders reversing Biden-era policies and to focus on issues like illegal immigration, trade tariffs, and energy production. He also pledged to pardon supporters convicted for the January 6 Capitol riots, referring to them as “patriots.”
Executive Orders
Executive orders issued by a U.S. president are directives or actions that carry the force of law. While they allow the president to bypass Congress and the Supreme Court in some cases, their authority is not absolute.
Trump’s Controversial Past
Trump’s controversial past includes a felony conviction for falsifying business records, though he was not penalized.
Administration’s Plans
His administration aims to negotiate a truce in the Russia-Ukraine conflict within its first 100 days and increase U.S. oil drilling. Additionally, Trump vowed to block transgender women from competing in women’s sports and revoke policies supporting gender-affirming care.
Large-Scale Removal of Illegal Aliens
Trump’s administration has pledged to start large-scale removal of illegal aliens from Day One, although it is unclear how this will work, it appears that the plan is to start by deporting all criminals who are illegally present in the US.
