Monday marked a significant step toward the Inauguration Day of President-elect Donald Trump, as his victory was certified by the United States Congress.
During a joint session overseen by Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump’s Electoral College victory was certified by Congress, paving the way for him to return to the Oval Office in two weeks.
Here’s what to know about Trump’s upcoming inauguration.
When is Inauguration Day?
The U.S. Constitution originally called for the president to be sworn into office on March 4, but the 20th Amendment, passed in 1933, changed that date to Jan. 20.
According to the U.S. government, the only exception to that date is if the 20th falls on a Sunday, in which case the inauguration would be moved to Jan. 21.
This year, Jan. 20 falls on a Monday, so Trump will take the oath of office on that date.
Is there a specific time the new president takes office?
Under provisions of the 20th Amendment, the terms of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will officially end at noon Eastern Standard Time on Jan. 20, meaning that Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance will officially take office at that time, whether or not they’ve had their oaths of office administered.
