Since 1973, US Presidential Inauguration Day is held on 20th January every four years in odd-numbered years, except when January 20 falls on a Sunday!

The inauguration of the President of the United States ceremony marks the commencement of a new four-year term of a president of the United States. The Chief Justice administers the oath to the president at noon (ET) on that day and the term of the president commences.

The last presidential inauguration ceremony was the swearing in of President Barack Obama to begin his second four-year term in office, which took place on Monday, January 21, 2013. This year the newly elected president of United States, Donald Trump, will be sworn in at noon on 20th January 2017 marking his 4-year long presidency.

For each ceremony, Washington D.C Postal Service releases postmarks to celebrate the swearing-in of the new president. This year U.S. Postal Service will offer a circular date stamp with four horizontal bars that include the words “Presidential Inauguration Day Station” in the middle of the bar markings. The circular date stamp reads, “Washington, DC 20066,” with the date in the centre as “JAN 20 2017.”

Further for each inauguration an FDC is also released featuring the new President and the Vice President. The design of the FDC commemorating the swearing in ceremony of Donald Trump (President) and Mike Pence (Vice President) is yet to be released.

A commemorative President Donald Trump 45th President-elect of the United States Inauguration coin is also released. This coin is colourized with a portrait of the President-elect Donald Trump with the inauguration date of January 20, 2017. A 2016 Kennedy Half Dollar struck by the United States Mint also honours Donald Trump's election victory on November 9, 2016.

A limited edition collector's coin is released to commemorate the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States of America. This 24K gold-plated commemorative coin features a profile portrait of President Elect Donald Trump on one side and Donald J. Trump's personal presidential seal on the reverse side.

We wish success to the new President of US!
