that's a bunch of hogwash.
(i.e. events at Andrews AirForce base included the playing of Hail To The Chief and a 21-gun salute, military tributes Biden did not receive). Pres. Biden did receive a 21 gun salute and Hail To The Chief was played.
We had a lively discussion a few threads back about all of this - about gun(cannon) vs rifle salutes with proofs. Funeral salutes are (not always) generally rifle salutes, not gun salutes.
Pres. Trump's 21 Gun salute and Pres. Biden's salute came from different places. I wonder why. Pres. Trump's looks like it's on the Capitol grounds and Pres. Biden's is from Arlington ? CSPAN shows a 21 cannon salute @ arlington. - 3 cannons 7 shots each

Hail To The Chief at Pres. Biden's inauguration
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxh5Biy3SfM And a 21 gun salute is tradition...nothing about it in the Constitution
President Trump was still President when he left from Andrews.
Hail to the Chief and a 21 gun salute traditions would be appropriate for him
Pres. Biden taking the oath of office early has no meaning.
Constitution doesn't have a traditional time of presidential swear in. It only provides for a time of terms ending.
20th amendment Sec I:
"The terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January,"
Please stop with all this. Is C-Span in on your conspiracy theory? Pres. DJTrump is not the current CIC.
There was something really odd about Biden’s salute. The cadence was off compared to the shots fired at other presidents’ inaugurations. See the video below for a compilation of inauguration volleys for Carter through Biden.
The cadence and arrangement for Biden doesn’t seem like either an inaugural 21 gun salute or a funeral salute.
And why did the salute take place at the cemetery? I don’t think this occurred when any other president got his salute.
That is just plain weird.
I don’t know exactly what it going on other than a lot of odd things that don’t add up.
