The Clinton's, the Bush's and Barack Obama stand in the Rotunda together
Two weeks after Jimmy Carter’s funeral, all the living presidents are back together again. And like the memorial service at the National Cathedral, they’re entering the Capitol one by one, in chronological order.
It makes for a dramatic parade of past American power—the nation’s most exclusive club.
And also, like two weeks ago, Michelle Obama is the only former first lady not in attendance.
Barack Obama arrived without Michelle, whose office confirmed last week she wouldn't be in attendance today
What will Trump do after taking office?
- Trump is declaring a national emergency at the border to send more troops and manpower there
