They both just have to take the oath SCantiGOP Jan 2021 #8

They could quietly take it before the ceremony. BrightKnight Jan 2021 #21

I think the only requirement is they take the oath of office Midnightwalk Jan 2021 #10

Yes, the only requirement is that wnylib Jan 2021 #97

How about bdamomma Jan 2021 #48

I like your idea FakeNoose Jan 2021 #58

Excellent idea. scarletwoman Jan 2021 #69

They won't have access to the Oval Office until AFTER they are sworn in. scarletwoman Jan 2021 #67

I thought I remembered a discussion of whether Obama became president during Yo-Yo Ma's performance renate Jan 2021 #95

They get access at noon when Biden becomes president, regardless whether they take the oath StarfishSaver Jan 2021 #101

Oh well, if that's the case, cool! Do the swearing in there! scarletwoman Jan 2021 #108

At this point YES Cosmocat Jan 2021 #105

Reagan's second inauguration was held indoors BannonsLiver Jan 2021 #17

Whose bright idea was it to hold the inauguration ceremony outside in the middle of smirkymonkey Jan 2021 #110

The inauguration was originally held in March. thucythucy Jan 2021 #111

Interesting bit of history. Makes a lot of sense, or at least it did back then. smirkymonkey Jan 2021 #112

I agree with that. David__77 Jan 2021 #32

That or the Oval Office ailsagirl Jan 2021 #34

Play it safe, Speaker Pelosi!! Lunabell Jan 2021 #9

I agree. secondwind Jan 2021 #11

Good point. Next in line would be grassley as senate president pro tempore unblock Jan 2021 #13

Incorrect. President Pro Tempore comes from the majority party grantcart Jan 2021 #35

We don't have a majority without the Georgia senators sworn in *and* Harris to break the tie unblock Jan 2021 #36

No known facts support your opinion that they will not be sworn in prior to the inauguation grantcart Jan 2021 #80

Good to hear the senators should be sworn in by then but my main point unblock Jan 2021 #85

Absolutely! SheltieLover Jan 2021 #14

Wow it was really thoughtful of you to reconsider, I really do offer my thanks. FreepFryer Jan 2021 #99

No, thank you. And I **should** cut back on the caffeine. FailureToCommunicate Jan 2021 #102

Goals are good but in a foxhole one needs ones simple reassurances - 2nd carafe is on here :) FreepFryer Jan 2021 #104

I think they should move it to The Lincoln Memorial. Tommymac Jan 2021 #25

The entire inauguration Mr.Bill Jan 2021 #26

Secret Service should insist the live inauguration be cancelled to protect Biden and others. Liberty Belle Jan 2021 #37

I think the entire inauguration should be held in secret malaise Jan 2021 #39

And the fact that she's not attending should be widely publicized. Jim__ Jan 2021 #41

Since security will still be in the hands of the tRump administration I would agree with that nt yaesu Jan 2021 #42

Honestly, if we can't secure the Inauguration, we should defund everything greenjar_01 Jan 2021 #44

The inauguration should be held at a secure, undisclosed location HubertHeaver Jan 2021 #45

This. Amaryllis Jan 2021 #50

Exactly StarfishSaver Jan 2021 #106

No. The Speaker, the VP-Elect... appmanga Jan 2021 #52

And the inaugural should be in the Capitol Rotunda sandensea Jan 2021 #76

I'm thinking the same thing. Hold it there to show the radical right they can't just shut us down. patphil Jan 2021 #87

Good point. It would be a way to 'cleanse' the Rotunda of Wednesday's obscenity as well. sandensea Jan 2021 #91
