U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle leave the White House for the Capitol to take his second oath of office in less than 24 hours.
He had a formal private swearing-in on Sunday (January 20) at the White House because of a constitutional requirement that the president be sworn in on January 20.
Obama inaugural address from the Capitol's west front overlooking the National Mall, where an estimated crowd of 700,00 people are expected to gather. That is down significantly from the record 1.8 million people who jammed Washington in 2009 for Obama's first inauguration.
