Summary:
Since the 20th Amendment was ratified, the oath of office
for President of the United States has been administered
every four years on January 20. The next presidential
inauguration is scheduled to take place on January 20,
2025.
The move to the West Front of the Capitol not only
accommodated larger crowds who could view the ceremony
from the Capitol grounds, but also allowed for use of the
National Mall. Additionally, the Architect of the Capitol
has been able to build a larger platform on the West Front,
which in recent years has accommodated more than 1,600
people.
For the 2025 swearing-in ceremony, the Joint
Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies
(JCCIC) has announced that the ceremony will again be
conducted on the West Front of the Capitol.
