The nation was in a state of shock. One unprecedented historical moment followed another. Just a few minutes earlier, their administration rocked by multiple scandals, both President Donald Trump and Vice President Michael Pence tendered their resignations.

Now, preparations completed in the White House East Room, Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath of office to the new president. "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States...so help me God." Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi finished reciting the oath, becoming the first female president of the United States.
