ON Monday, January 20, 2025, The Inauguration ceremony takes place at the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, DC.
James David Vance (born James Donald Bowman; August 2, 1984), Vice-President-elect is sworn in first and repeats the same oath of office, in use since 1884, as senators, representatives, and other federal employees:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
