President-elect Donald Trump's will be sworn in under the Capitol Rotunda, rather than outside. But he's not the only president inaugurated in an unusual location.

A combination of harsh weather and delay in individual states choosing electors pushed the inauguration to April 30, 1789. At 2 p.m., Washington recited the constitutionally mandated oath on the balcony of Federal Hall in New York City, the fledgling nation’s temporary capitol.

Nearly 7,500 participants from 23 states will join the parade this year, the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee has confirmed.

Dozens of people with ties to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol gathered outside the detention facility in Washington to celebrate Trump’s pardons of those convicted of crimes that day.

President Donald Trump’s second inauguration seemed normal, but there were concerns about U.S. democracy lingering just beneath the surface.

Just over 1,500 people accused of storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, will have their sentences commuted or pardoned, or their charges dismissed.

John Adams was also sworn in as president in Philadelphia. It wasn’t until Thomas Jefferson’s inauguration that the swearing in ceremony was moved to Washington, D.C. Jefferson took the oath of office inside the U.S. Capitol in 1801.

In the first hours of his second term, President Donald Trump pardoned nearly everyone convicted of crimes associated with the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol – including former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio – and commuted the sentences of 14 more, including Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes.

President Trump’s grant of clemency to those who assaulted the Capitol in his name four years ago clashed with his predecessor’s decision to shield from retribution those who had sought to hold him to account.

Donald Trump became the 47th American president on Monday, but the oath of office itself has been administered 73 times before to the 46 preceding chief executives. According to the Architect of the Capitol,

The US president’s power to pardon is both one of the most absolute and misunderstood provisions of the Constitution. Rooted in the “prerogative of mercy” of English kings dating back to the seventh century,

Since the office was established in 1789, there have been 47 presidencies, with 45 individuals holding the position of president.
