What else happens on Inauguration Day besides the president’s swearing in?
A. The day begins with a morning worship service, after which the president-elect, the vice president-elect and their spouses are escorted to the White House. The president-elect and outgoing president have a brief meeting and ride together to the Capitol for the swearing-in ceremony. After the new president takes the oath of office, he will give his inaugural address, a speech which sets the tone of his presidency. The Inaugural Parade is next and in the evening, official Inaugural Balls begin.
