The inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States is scheduled to take place on Friday, January 20, 2017, in Washington, D.C. The inauguration will mark the commencement of the four-year term of Donald Trump as President of the United States, with Mike Pence as Vice President of the United States.

Context

By definition, the inauguration marks the formal culmination of the presidential transition of Donald Trump that began when he won the United States presidential election on November 8, 2016, and became the President-elect. Trump is scheduled to be formally elected by the Electoral College on December 19, 2016.[1]

Trump's vice presidential running mate, Mike Pence, joined the Trump ticket in July 2016.[2]

Planning

Construction on the inaugural platform at the United States Capitol began in November 2016.

The inauguration is being planned primarily by two committees: the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies and the 2017 Presidential Inaugural Committee.

Joint Congressional Committee

The swearing-in ceremony and the inaugural luncheon for President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Pence are being planned by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. The committee is overseen by the U.S. Senate Committee on Rules and Administration.

JTF NCR

Military planning for the 58th inaugural ceremonies began with a large map exercise at Fort Lesley J. McNair.

The Military District of Washington and the Joint Task Force for the National Capital Region will oversee military support for the inaugural ceremonies.

Presidential Inaugural Committee

The 2017 Presidential Inaugural Committee will organize several other inauguration‑related events at the direction of the President‑elect and Vice President‑elect of the United States, such as the train ride, concerts, parade, balls and prayer service. The co-chairs of the committee are yet to be announced.
