For more than 100 years, the US did not inaugurate its president until March - a four month wait for the official handing over of power. That changed in 1933 during the Great Depression economic crisis, when Inauguration Day moved from 4 March 4 to 20 January - with the ratification of the 20th amendment to the US Constitution.

With his presidency nearly over, Joe Biden is considering preemptive pardons for people Donald Trump has criticized or threatened.

President Joe Biden bid farewell to America in his final speech. Biden capped off his 50-year record of public service. The Hill’s Alex Gangitano joins Capitol Review to discuss his reaction to his final speech and how he will be remembered.

It is fitting that President Joe Biden will be bookended throughout history by President-elect Donald Trump, his predecessor and successor. Even the four years Biden was in office were largely defined by Trump.
