This perfunctory ceremony had the House and Senate in joint session with Vice President Kamala Harris presiding. For years, the certification of the Electoral College was the start of the peaceful transfer of power from the sitting president to the president-elect.

The process this year went smoothly and looked very different from the world witnessed four years ago with the capital riot.

“For much of our history, this procedure was treated as pro forma, a routine action,” President Joe Biden wrote in an op-ed. Washington Post. “But after what we all witnessed on January 6, 2021, we know we can never take it for granted again.”

What happened on January 6, 2021?

The 2020 presidential election pitted Biden against Trump during a global pandemic. Biden came out on top.

A timeline of how the Capitol attack unfolded on January 6, 2021

Here’s what happened on January 6, 2021, when rioters stormed the US Capitol.

Thousands of rioters breached the capital that day, leaving in their wake a path of destruction, injury and death.

In the aftermath, Trump called the uprising a “horrific attack,” but that particular phrase didn’t hold. In the months leading up to the 2024 election, he praised the storming of the Capitol and called it a “day of love” and has repeatedly referred to the more than 1,500 defendants on January 6 as “political prisoners” and “hostages”.

Trump has stated that he will watch the cases and begin issuing pardons not long after he takes office again. He also said there may be “some exceptions” if a person had acted “radically” or “crazy” during the assault.

How can I get tickets to Trump’s inauguration?

Tickets to Trump’s upcoming inauguration at the US Capitol are free to the public. Tickets are distributed through members of Congress and are typically released to congressmen’s offices beginning in early January, The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies said in a press release on December 23.

More than 220,000 tickets are set to be distributed to these offices across the country, according to the JCCIC.

Can Trump run for president again after this term?

No.

How presidential terms work can be a little confusing, but essentially the Constitution only allows one person to hold the highest office in the United States twice (and it doesn’t have to be consecutive), and the terms can’t run indefinitely.

The 22nd Amendment states:

“No person shall be elected to the office of President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President or acted as President for more than two years of a term in which another person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once walk.”

The US hasn’t always had them, but presidential term limits are nothing new either. They have been around for more than 70 years.
