“ IIRC, Coolidge was sworn in by his dad, and not at the Capitol. Trump should do similar. (Yes I know his dad is deceased...)”
That’s because Harding died and Coolidge was Vice President.
He was with his family in Vermont at the time and his father was a notary public.
Later back in DC he was sworn in again, just to make sure given his father was a state official.
I like your idea of Trump doing something different, but I’m not sure what that could be.
Wow! This dive into a part of history I didn’t get at school is really interesting! Thank you, and I hope Trump listens to you!!!! Or at least to President Coolidge :D
