CNN 10 - 01/20/17
CARL AZUZ, CNN 10 Hi.
I'm Carl Azuz, welcoming you to today's special edition of CNN 10. January 20th is inauguration day in America, the day when President-elect Donald Trump becomes the 45th leader of the United States.
As we've talked about earlier this week, a lot is going on in Washington, D.C. today.
The president-elect is expected to attend the service at St.
John's Church.
Then, he'll officially become the president.
Then, he'll deliver his inauguration speech, have lunch with the Senate, attend the inaugural parade, go to an inaugural ball, or several.
But what we're going to focus on in today's edition of CNN 10 is that moment when an elected leader goes from being the president-elect to the president.
It centers on a 35-word passage located in Article II Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution.
FRANKLIN D. I, Franklin Delano Roosevelt -- I, Calvin Coolidge -- LYNDON B. I, Lyndon Baines Johnson -- Do solemnly swear -- JOHN F. Do solemnly swear -- That I will faithfully execute -- The Office of President of the United States -- It's this moment -- GEORGE H.W. And will to the best of my ability -- WILLIAM J. To the best of my ability -- It's these words -- Preserve -- Protect -- And defend -- Once spoken -- GEORGE H. The Constitution of the United States -- Of the United States.
