I’m unfamiliar with this. Can you go a bit further about the 21 gun salute? Is it normal to do at an inauguration? Did they fire to many rounds? How can one tell it’s for a foreign dignitary or for a potus?
Sorry for the many question. It’s just this is the first I’ve heard of this.
From what I remember and what other people say, for a real inauguration, there are 4 cannons in a line; 3 firing, with 1 for reserve, firing in a set cadence. For a foreign dignitary, there are 3 cannons in a line; 2 firing, with 1 for reserve, firing slower than for a presidential inauguration.
