Do we get this upcoming Monday off? If not is it going to be one of those seniority based work days? Such as (day after Christmas).

could there possibly be a greater waste of time and money than having an Inauguration extravaganza for a 2nd term president * try this instead - leave the oval office, walk over to the rose garden, 5 minute speech, then get your ass back to work * done deal

Yes, there could possibly be a greater waste of time and money. How about having an inauguration extravaganza for a 2nd term president that is just for show? The real one, the official swearing in will be done on January, 20th, in private. The public one is just for show.

"A president elected to a second term is sometimes seen as being a lame duck from early in the second term, because presidents are barred from contesting a term four years later, and is thus freer to take politically unpopular action. Nonetheless, as the de facto leader of his or her political party, the president's actions affect how the party performs in the midterm elections two years into the second term, and, to some extent, the success of that party's nominee in the next presidential election four years in the future."
