Way to go dad! Barack Obama is sworn into office at the White House as proud Michelle and daughters look on
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | January 21, 2013 11:35President Barack Obama was sworn into his second term of office on Sunday at noon in front of only his wife and two daughters in a simple service.
The quick swearing in took place on Sunday in keeping with the laws states in the Constitution which states that Presidents’ terms begin at noon on January 20.
Normally the oath of office is given on the steps of the Capitol and is followed by his address to the nation, but because this year it happens to fall on a Sunday- and inaugurations is never held that day of the week- the oath of office was given quickly in the Blue Room of the White House instead.
Only the President’s immediate family and some close friends were present, along with a crew of journalists to witness and televise the event.
Mr Obama attended church with his family before the ceremony, and laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider alongside Vice President Joe Biden, who was also sworn in for his second term this morning.
