The National Constitution Center has the resources you need this Inauguration Day.

Start with the latest post from our Constitution Daily blog, What Happens on Inauguration Day. Learn about what the Constitution says about the presidential inauguration—including the 20th Amendment and Article I, Section 2—what the vice president's oath of office includes, and the precedents set by past ceremonies.

Then, join members of the Center's education team and the National Council for History Education for an inaugural speech watch party and the opportunity to have your students' questions answered.

All inaugural events are available through this registration link.

12 – 1 p.m. ET: Join NCHE Board Chair Kristy Brugar, Executive Director Grace Leatherman, Education Coordinator Matt Missias, and a panel of educators for an inaugural speech watch party.

1 – 2 p.m. ET: NCHE partners with historian Ed Ayers, and Education Specialist Annie Evans of New American History to answer your questions (or your student’s questions!) about the historical context of the inauguration, and how to teach during pivotal national events.
