Early on parade day marchers assemble outside Washington and line up by marching order. They ride buses to a near start point, march one and a half miles down Pennsylvania Avenue past the White House, then return by bus to their starting point.
Jimmy Carter is sworn in during the 1977 ceremony. All presidents since Washington have taken the same oath mandated by Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution. The oath declares a commitment to faithfully execute the presidency and defend the Constitution. Washington added So help me God, a phrase all subsequent presidents have spoken.
The upcoming presidential oath will occur on the west front marking the first time outdoors on that side. The east platform will be unused, and the change aims to seat more attendees while offering a scenic view across the Mall to the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial in the backdrop.
The text describes the January 20 inauguration ceremony outside the Capitol with the Inaugural Address, a luncheon inside the Capitol, and a parade view from a White House viewing stand. It notes the parade lasts about an hour and a half and references past coverage from 1977 with photos to illustrate what readers might expect this year.
