Facts about the inauguration of Donald Trump as U.S. president

Jan 20 (Reuters) - With his left hand on a Bible used by Abraham Lincoln, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th U.S. president around noon (1700 GMT) on Friday and give an address at the west front of the U.S. Capitol before leading a parade to the White House. • Trump's and Pence's families then attend a tea at the White House with the outgoing president and Michelle Obama, before heading to the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. Aaron Kall, editor of a new book "I Do Solemnly Swear: Presidential Inaugural Addresses of the Last Forty Years," said that it is "imperative" for Trump to build some political running room for himself with his address. In the evening, Trump and the new first lady will attend two inaugural balls, part of the stripped down inaugural festivities that aides say are meant to stress that the new president is eager to get to work.
