Inauguration Day is filled with traditions marking the peaceful transfer of power from one Administration to another.
From religious services at St Johns to morning coffee at the White House; from Ruffles and Flourishes to a Marine One departure - the traditions add to the day.
President Obama should start a new tradition on Jan 20, 2017.
He should take the President-elect to the National Archives to view the Constitution.
It's on the way to the Capitol ; would add to the solemnity of the day and remind the American people we are a nation of laws.
What better way to start a new President's term than to look at the Constitution - the Nation's Owner's Manual.
