Donald Trump is set to return to the Capitol Building as he prepares for his second inauguration as president of the United States.Mr Trump will succeed Joe Biden in the White House from January 20, when he takes the oath of office in Washington D.

For more than 100 years, the US did not inaugurate its president until March - a four month wait for the official handing over of power. That changed in 1933 during the Great Depression economic crisis, when Inauguration Day moved from 4 March 4 to 20 January - with the ratification of the 20th amendment to the US Constitution.

After four years in the White House – and a half-century in Washington – President Joe Biden has said farewell.
