Donald Trump arrived at
the Capitol Building Friday morning for his swearing in as the 45th President
of the United States to chants of 'USA! USA! USA!'
The President-elect spent the morning attending church and meeting with
outgoing President Obama as VIPs filled into the stands for the
inauguration.
The Obamas warmly greeted the Trumps on the steps of the White House,
bringing a large gift box from Tiffany's which Melania handed to first lady
Michelle.
As the two couples were meeting, the president-elect's family, former
presidents, the Supreme Court justices and Congressman started filing into the
stands outside the Capitol Building to see the ceremony - including Trump's rival
Hillary Clinton.
Clinton is attending the ceremony with her husband, former President
Bill Clinton. As is tradition, all living presidents attend the inauguration.
The only former president missing the ceremony today is George H.W. Bush, who
is hospitalized along with his wife Barbara in Texas.
Former Secretary of State Clinton wore an all-white outfit - perhaps a
subtle nod to the Suffragettes. If she had won the election, Clinton would have
been the first female American president.
