History of Presidential Inaugurations (Part I)

“What I would like to see is the moving out of the White House. So the way that this happens, at exactly noon when the legal transfer of power takes place there is a small army of staff that basically fans out across the White House, they literally wrap up all the stuff from the old presidents house and cabinet. All the personal items are going to go to whatever address they are moving next, all their official documents get sent to their archive and at the same time they unpack all the stuff from the new president.”

 

 

Welcome to our Presidential Inauguration episode, Part I. Tour Guide Tell All is celebrating the 59th Presidential Inauguration by talking about all the other ones! Join Becca and Rebecca as we discuss the history of inaugurations, the ones we have planned for and the ones we haven’t.  We have some stories, fun trivia and more. The Vice Presidents get their due as well, and we discuss their own swearing in procedures.

 

 

Come along on our inaugural 2021 episode (see what we did there?)!!
