FLOSSI AT HISTORIC INAUGURATION

On Inauguration Day, the President typically signs several official documents immediately following the swearing-in ceremony to commence their administration. This tradition, established in 1981 with President Ronald Reagan, takes place in the President's Room at the U.S. Capitol.

The specific documents signed include:

Inauguration Day Proclamation: This proclamation sets the tone for the new administration, often designating the day with a particular theme. For instance, President Barack Obama declared his inauguration day a "National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation.”

Nominations to Cabinet and Sub-Cabinet Positions: The President formally submits nominations for key administrative roles to the Senate for confirmation, ensuring that the new administration's leadership team is officially in place.

Executive Orders and Other Presidential Actions: Depending on the administration's priorities, the President may sign executive orders or other directives to address pressing issues. For example, on January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed 31 documents, including executive orders, to implement his agenda immediately upon taking office.
