U.S. President-elect Joe Biden will take office as the 46th President of the United States at noon on the 20th and 2am on the 21st Korean time.
Unlike other presidential inauguration ceremonies, an unfamiliar landscape unfolds due to concerns about the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) and violence. Biden is scheduled to start working in earnest five hours after the oath.

Biden will attend Mass at St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Washington DC at 8:45 a.m. EST on the 20th. Mrs. Jill Biden and Mrs. Camela Harris are joined by a couple who are vice president-elect. They are Catholics and are looking for a cathedral instead of St. John’s Church in front of the White House, which is called the’President’s Church’. Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Representative Chuck Schumer, Republican Senate Mitch McConnell, and House Representative Kevin McCarthy accompany and send a message of harmony.
At 10:30 a.m., Biden and Harris move to Congress to attend the inauguration ceremony. Next, I attend the inauguration ceremony held at the Capitol at 11:15 am. Pop star Lady Gaga sings the country and Amanda Gorman, the first winner of the National Youth Poetry Competition, reads a congratulatory poem, raising the atmosphere of the inauguration ceremony.
With the oath of office scheduled at noon, Biden is officially inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States. Biden places his hand on a Bible book that has been handed down since 1893 as a family heirloom, and takes the oath of office in front of Chief Justice John Roberts. Harris is sworn under Federal Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

Biden will then give an inauguration speech as president. United States unity and reconstruction will be the key message. Normally, the new president gives an inauguration speech while looking down at the crowd without any gaps, but waiting for Biden-elect is about 190,500 flags.
It is an encouraging measure mobilized due to fears of recurrence of violence after Corona 19 and the invasion of Congress. Flags representing the American flag, the Stars and Stripes, and 50 states were installed along the National Mall connecting the Capitol, Washington Monument, and Lincoln Memorial. There is no President Donald Trump among the limited attendance of 1,000. President Trump plans to break the custom and fly to Palm Beach, Florida, before Biden’s inauguration ceremony.

Biden’s oath and inauguration address was also the place where Trump supporters broke into Congress two weeks ago. It is a call for unity and healing in a place where frenzied protesters have shaken the foundations of American democracy. “It will send the world an incredibly important image of the resilience of American democracy,” said Kate Beddingfield, White House Public Affairs Director.
At 1:40 pm, President Biden and Vice President Harris are inspected by the military on the east side of the Capitol. It is an event that confirms that the military commander has changed to Biden. At 2:25 p.m., Biden and Harris visit the Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, DC, and make a wreath. Former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton join.
At 3:15 pm Biden enters the White House. The U.S. Army’s ancient hostilities and others will celebrate President Biden’s entry into the White House.
Two hours later, Biden signs the executive order and commences work. Ten executive orders will be signed one after another, including the return of the Paris Climate Agreement and the withdrawal of the entry ban applied to Islamic countries. In this inauguration ceremony, parades, luncheons, and dances are omitted. Instead, from 8:30 p.m., a celebratory performance held by actor Tom Hanks will be broadcast live on TV.

President Biden and his wife come to the balcony at 9:55 pm to greet and end the long day. Biden has been vice-president in the Barack Obama administration for eight years, and the White House is familiar, but this is the first time he has gone to bed at the White House as president. During the inauguration ceremony, strict boundaries are set to unfold in Washington, DC. 25,000 National Guards, equivalent to the size of the USFK troops, were mobilized, and’Green Zone’ and’Red Zone’, where access is strictly restricted, were set.
