Today, January 20, Donald Trump took the oath of the US president and began his four -year head of the head of the White House. The oath was accepted by the head of the US Supreme Court John Roberts

The first to the oath was the elected vice president Mike Pence. Vice Presidents have been oath with the US presidents only since 1937. Before that, they swore allegiance separately in the Senate meeting hall. According to the Constitution, the US Vice President is also nominally the head of the Senate, and if when voting on a question of the voice of senators, his voice becomes decisive.

The inauguration day itself was long in March, but under President Franklin D. Roosevelt it was "shifted" to an earlier term so that the period of transfer of power from the previous president would not be overly delayed.

Donald Trump is the first US entrepreneur and billionaire in the history of the United States. According to Reuters, on Saturday, the first day after the inauguration, Trump will visit the headquarters of the central reconnaissance department, which he has repeatedly criticized.
