On January 20, Inauguration Day, the next president and vice president of the United States will be sworn into office in front of the US Capitol Building. As part of the peaceful transfer of power, the two men will recite their Oaths of Office, swearing to protect and defend the US Constitution and to enact their duties faithfully.
