Could the 2025 inauguration be delayed

[bobnicewander]

or in question with tRump proclaiming he doesn't need the ceremony to be the president?

[Ocelot II]

1. The ceremony isn't necessary. A simple swearing in would be sufficient.

But Trump wants the ceremony - the bigger and more lavish, the better, as far as he's concerned.

2. Who

has the authority to legally swear the office in?

[Ocelot II]

3. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court usually does it, but a few presidents

have been sworn in by other judges.

4. Calvin Coolidge's father swore him in after Warren G. Harding died.

He was a notary public, and justice of the peace. LBJ was sworn in by a Federal District Judge.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 8, specifies the language of the oath. It doesn’t say (or limit) who can administer it.

6. He might be afraid of even smaller crowds than his first one had

and bigger anti-trump demonstrations.

7. Johnson was a simple swearing in after Kennedy assassination.

That just may be what we see....I understand from various psychics...election interference by Russia will be announced first in Europe and including then the USA...

5. If it were me, I'd do simple ceremony a somewhere not DC...

Maybe someplace like KC, St. Louis, Dallas, Denver or Atlanta. Change it up a bit. It would add a twist to an otherwise unmemorable event. Plus, it would make it more accessible to people who likely will never make it to DC.

But, with this one being for Trump, I dont care. Unmemorable and unremarkable along with all the other modern ones is OK.
