Donald J. Trump will be
sworn into office as the 45th
president of the United States
during his inauguration
celebration on January 20th.
He will take the oath to
“preserve, protect and defend
the Constitution of the
United States.”
The inauguration is the ceremony in which the new or
reelected president is inducted into office. This year it
will be held at noon on January 20. It takes place outside
the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C.
At the inauguration ceremony, the president takes an oath
of office. With right hand raised and left hand on an open
Bible, the new president says the following statement:
President-elect Trump was
born on June 14, 1946. Do
the math to discover how
old he will be on his birthday
this year.

America’s fourth president, James Madison, and his wife,

they served two terms. One of these two-term presidents had

Like the word ball, many words mean more than one thing.
Each object shown here has the same name as another object
shown. Can you match the picture pairs?
The Seal of the President of the United States
contains a circle of white stars representing
America’s 50 states. The banner that reads
E PLURIBUS UNUM is Latin for “out of
many, one” meaning out of many states,
one country and also, out of many
peoples, one nation. There are 13 stars,
clouds, leaves and arrows that represent
the original 13 states.
Starting with the first letter in each line
below, circle every other letter to discover
what the olive branch represents and what
the arrows the eagle is holding represent.
The words in the scrambled sentence below make up a very
American sentence. Can you put the words in the right order
to reveal the sentence?
