But Trump wants the ceremony - the bigger and more lavish, the better, as far as he's concerned.

He was a notary public, and justice of the peace. LBJ was sworn in by a Federal District Judge.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 8, specifies the language of the oath. It doesn’t say (or limit) who can administer it.

Maybe someplace like KC, St. Louis, Dallas, Denver or Atlanta. Change it up a bit. It would add a twist to an otherwise unmemorable event. Plus, it would make it more accessible to people who likely will never make it to DC.

But, with this one being for Trump, I dont care. Unmemorable and unremarkable along with all the other modern ones is OK.
