The US Senate is in session to likely approve the Secretary of Defense Mattis and one or two other cabinet members. President Trump will likely wait until Monday to begin issuing executive orders that will reverse many of President Obama’s executive orders. President Trump and family are in a grandstand at the Whitehouse enjoying the parade. The inauguration went very well today.
