Second inauguration of Donald Trump

The **inauguration of Donald Trump** as the 47th president of the United States marked the beginning of Donald Trump's second and final term as president and JD Vance's only term as vice president.

The ceremony took place on Monday, January 20, 2025, inside the United States Capitol rotunda in Washington, D.C. The ceremony was moved indoors due because of cold weather. It is the first indoor inauguration ceremony since the second inauguration of Ronald Reagan in 1985. The event was the 60th presidential inauguration.

Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh administered the oath of office to JD Vance. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath of office to Donald Trump. Trump's wife, Melania, held two Bibles for Trump to place his left hand on while reciting the oath, in accordance with custom, but he did not do so. This is merely a tradition; incoming presidents are not required to place their hand on the Bibles.

Former United States Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, former Vice Presidents Dan Quayle and Mike Pence and Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, all members of the Supreme Court of the United States, some billionaires, including Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai, Elon Musk and different foreign representatives, including Javier Milei of Argentina, Giorgia Meloni of Italy, Daniel Noboa of Ecuador and Han Zheng of China attended the inauguration.

Active noise cancellation

**Active noise control** (**ANC**), also known as **noise cancellation** (**NC**), or **active noise reduction** (**ANR**), is a method for reducing unwanted sound. This is done by adding another sound source. This other sound source will have properties that are designed to cancel or reduce the first sound source. The concept was first developed in the late 1930s; later developmental work that began in the 1950s eventually resulted in commercial airline headsets with the technology becoming available in the late 1980s. The technology is also used in road vehicles, mobile telephones, earbuds, and headphones.

Pro-Administration party

The **Pro-Administration Party** was a political faction in the early years of the United States, emerging around the time of George Washington's presidency (1789–1797). It was not a political party in the modern sense, but rather a coalition of individuals and groups who supported Washington's administration and its policies. The term "Pro-Administration" is often used to describe those who were generally in favor of the policies put forward by Washington and his key advisors, particularly Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton.

In fact, the period of Washington's presidency marked a time when political factions began to take shape, even though organized political parties had not yet emerged. "After the passage and ratification of the Constitution and subsequent Bill of Rights, the Legislative Branch began to resemble what it is today. While organized political parties were nonexistent during the presidency of George Washington, informal factions formed between congressmen that were either ‘Pro-Administration’ or ‘Anti-Administration’. After George Washington stepped down as President, the informal coalitions in Congress became officially organized, transforming the ‘Pro-Administration’ faction into the Federalist Party and the ‘Anti-Administration’ faction into the Jeffersonian Party" more known as the "Democratic-Republicans or Anti-Federalists" (The Federalist Party.” _American Battlefield Trust_, www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/federalist-party).

Thus, the Pro-Administration faction became the cornerstone of America's political system, laying the foundation for the Federalist Party and marking the dawn of a new, independent nation.

Faithless elector laws

**Faithless elector laws** are a kind of laws in the United States of America. Faithless elector laws say that it is against the law for 2 kinds of electors to vote any way but the way the common voters told them they must. Those 2 kinds of electors are: electors for President of the United States of America; and electors for Vice President of the United States of America.

Some experts believe faithless elector laws include the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.

Because faithless electors are not normal, 1 faithless elector's vote may cause a state's whole slate of votes to be thrown away by Congress. 1 reason that faithless elector laws are needed is the chance that 1 faithless elector's vote may cause a state's whole slate of votes to be thrown away by Congress.

Battle of Roncevaux Pass

The **Battle of Roncevaux Pass** was a confrontation that took place on August 15, 778, in the Pyrenees near the Roncevaux Pass (present-day border between France and Spain). The battle is famous for the death of Roland, the commander of the Frankish rearguard, which has been mythologized in the epic poem _The Song of Roland_.

## Background

The battle occurred during Charlemagne's campaign into the Iberian Peninsula. Charlemagne had been invited by local Muslim leaders in al-Andalus to intervene against the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba. However, the campaign did not achieve its intended objectives, and Charlemagne’s army began a retreat back into Frankish territory.

As the army moved through the narrow Roncevaux Pass in the Pyrenees, the Frankish rearguard, led by Roland, was ambushed by local Basque forces.

## The battle

The Basques, using their knowledge of the terrain, launched a surprise attack on Charlemagne's rearguard. The narrow pass limited the Frankish soldiers' ability to maneuver and respond effectively. In the ensuing battle, the Franks suffered heavy casualties, and Roland was killed.

The Basque forces succeeded in plundering the Frankish baggage train, and the ambush caused a significant setback for Charlemagne’s campaign. The Basque leaders who orchestrated the attack remain unknown.

## Aftermath

The battle was a notable defeat for Charlemagne and became legendary in medieval European literature. Roland’s heroism was immortalized in _The Song of Roland_, which turned the historical battle into a symbol of Christian chivalry and valor against overwhelming odds.

The defeat at Roncevaux Pass exposed the challenges of extended campaigns in foreign territories and the difficulties of controlling mountain passes.

## Legacy

The Battle of Roncevaux Pass has had a lasting cultural impact, inspiring one of the oldest surviving major works of French literature, _The Song of Roland_. Roland's character became an icon of loyalty and bravery, and the battle was celebrated in songs and tales across medieval Europe.

Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba

The **Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba** (, _Imārat Qurṭuba_) was an independent Muslim emirate established in al-Andalus (present-day Spain and Portugal) by Abd al-Rahman I in 756. The emirate marked a significant period in Islamic and Iberian history, laying the groundwork for the future Caliphate of Córdoba, which would later become a center of cultural, scientific, and economic prosperity in Medieval Europe.

## History

Following the Umayyad Caliphate's overthrow by the Abbasid Caliphate in 750, Abd al-Rahman I, the last surviving Umayyad prince, escaped to al-Andalus. Arriving in 756, he seized control of Córdoba, proclaiming himself emir and establishing the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba as a separate entity from the Abbasids in Baghdad. This created an independent Muslim state in al-Andalus, ushering in centuries of Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula.
