Trump's swearing-in today; US President will take oath by placing his hands on two Bibles, know all the special things related to the ceremony..

New Delhi:- Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as US President for the second time on Monday. This ceremony will be recorded as a new example in American history. This is the second time in America's 230-year democratic history that a leader who has lost the presidential election will win again and return as President for the second time. The swearing-in ceremony will be held in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington DC. Come, let us know all the special things related to the swearing-in ceremony of the American President.

The place of swearing in ceremony changed after 40 years

Donald Trump will take the oath of office at 12 noon (10:30 pm Indian time). This time the ceremony will be held inside the Rotunda instead of outside the Capitol Building. Due to the severe cold in Washington DC, a decision has been taken to change the venue. Weather experts have said that the temperature in Washington DC may reach -12 degrees Celsius on Monday. The last time the location of the inauguration was changed was in 1985 during Ronald Reagan's second term. 600 selected guests have been invited to this function. These include big names from American politics and industry.

Grover Cleveland also made a similar comeback

Donald Trump has become the second leader in American history to return to the White House after losing the election. Similarly, Grover Cleveland also became the President of America in two different terms. His first term lasted from March 4, 1885 to March 4, 1889, during which time Grover Cleveland served as the 22nd president. Subsequently, Grover completed his second term as the 24th President of the United States from March 4, 1893 to March 4, 1897. Cleveland was the only president to date whose two terms were counted separately, as he did not serve two consecutive terms. Trump has now done exactly the same thing.

Upon reaching the Capitol, religious prayers and music will take place. After taking the oath, Trump will give his inaugural speech. In his speech, Trump will tell about his policies.

Special arrangements have been made for the inaugural parade

The inaugural parade of the US Presidential Inauguration Ceremony is an important tradition in which the new President and Vice President are welcomed. , The parade is held on Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House. In this, army units, general public, and bands participate in the parade. This time, Trump has also announced to make special arrangements at Capital One Arena for live telecast of the parade. The parade began in 1809, when it was first held after the inauguration of President James Madison. In this parade, the President, Vice President, and other prominent leaders proceed from the White House to Capitol Hill, where they appear before the public.

One of these Bibles was gifted to Trump by his mother at his Sunday Church Primary School graduation in 1955. This is a 1953 edition Revised Standard Bible. This Bible has Trump's name and signatures of church officials. The other Bible is the Lincoln Bible, which was first used during Abraham Lincoln's inauguration in 1861. This Bible is part of the collection of the Library of Congress. Let us tell you that Trump also used the Lincoln Bible in his first swearing in (2017).

Why is there a long gap between elections and swearing in?

US elections are held in November, but the swearing-in takes place in January. In the US there is a long gap between the election and the swearing in, called the “lame duck period”, about 75 days. This is so that the old government can complete its tasks and the new government can prepare its administrative structure. During this time, the President-elect is given intelligence information and the names of his cabinet are approved. Trump announced names for 102 key posts during this period. Some of them, like Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, are already playing an active role.

Earlier the interval between elections and swearing in was four months.
Let us tell you that the date of the swearing-in ceremony of the US President was not always January 20. According to the 20th Amendment of the US Constitution, elections are held on the first Tuesday of November and the new President is sworn in on January 20. Earlier this interval used to be up to four months, but after the amendment in 1933, it was reduced. In 1789, George Washington took the oath for the first time on April 30. Thereafter, till 1933, the inauguration took place on 4 March. But under the twentieth amendment this date was changed to January 20. During this time, the new President forms his cabinet, plans policies and receives information related to national security. This transition period ensures that the new President is fully prepared to assume power and there is no disruption in administrative functioning.

7,800 guard soldiers will be deployed for the swearing in.

The security arrangements for Donald Trump's swearing-in ceremony are very tight. About 25,000 security personnel have been deployed to the event in Washington, DC, including members of the National Guard and other security agencies. About 7,800 Guard soldiers will be deployed on security duty at the ceremony. These security arrangements have been made to ensure that the ceremony is conducted in a safe and peaceful manner, especially in view of the incidents that have happened in the last few years. All guests entering the venue will be subject to security screening. Emergency services will also be ready to deal with any untoward incident. Additionally, heavy police force and sniffer dogs have been deployed across the area.
