President Trump Will not Attend Inauguration on Jan. 20

President Trump Will not Attend Inauguration on Jan. 20

     “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th,” President Donald Trump just tweeted, although yesterday Twitter put the president on notice that he will be permanently banned if he does not stop breaking the platform’s rules.

    Among the tweets that Twitter removed from public view was a video in which the president addressed and perhaps, incited, the mob that violently swarmed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

   Only three incumbent presidents have refused to attend the inaugurations of the incoming presidents-elect. In the past, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and Andrew Johnson, who was also impeached in 1868, did not attend the ceremony on Jan. 20 at noon, when the new president takes the oath of office, which is usually administered by the chief justice of the United States. Then, the newly sworn-in president delivers an inaugural address.

   After Trump supporters infiltrated the Capitol in a protest against the election results that left four dead, many several politicians aimed to impeach the president for the second time, and also asked Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th amendment to remove from office President Donald Trump, due to his inability to "discharge the powers and duties of his office."

    An official of the Trump administration told CNN yesterday that Vice President Pence has not broached the subject with any Cabinet officials.

    In addition, Michael R. Sherwin, Washington, D.C.’s leading federal prosecutor, did not rule out charging President Donald Trump following the assault on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters.
