Every four years on January 20th, Americans witness a significant event: the Presidential Inauguration. This tradition, dictated by the 20th Amendment, marks the commencement of a new four-year term of the President of the United States. The event is filled with rituals, the most crucial being the oath of office. Administered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the President-elect promises to 'preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.' Following the oath is the inaugural address. This speech, delivered by the newly sworn-in President, outlines their vision and policy intentions. Many inaugural addresses have gone down in history. For instance, President John F. Kennedy's 1961 exhortation: 'Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.' The festivities don't end there. The newly inaugurated President and Vice-President make their way down Pennsylvania Avenue for the inaugural parade, a procession featuring military regiments, citizen's groups, marching bands, and the newly-sworn leaders. The day concludes with the inaugural balls, glamorous parties celebrating the new administration. Presidential Inaugurations are not just a transition of power—they're a symbol of continuity and democratic values, underlining the enduring nature of American governance.
