On January 20, 2021, Joe Biden was given and received a full-grade military regulation funeral service. They left the capital in a funeral procession and went to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. There was a 3-volley salute with 13 fires which is for funerals only. Biden is a “Minister Resident” - A person who takes up temporary residence in a foreign territory. They did not play “hail to the chief”, they played “Honors March One” which is only played for a Minister Resident. He was sworn in at 11:47am EST, which is a violation of the 20th amendment of the constitution of the USA which specifically says the President’s term is to begin at 12:00 noon.

Biden got 21 from a 3 volley
should be a 4 volley
Several channels covered this last year. And we know did a video on it. Biden was 19 rounds with 3 guns. Trump was 21 rounds with 5 guns.

Somewhere I saw 21 from 3 guns for Biden.
I watched it and counted

I believe Weekendwarrior17 had a screenshot of the military table of variations for #guns, #active/reserve, interval between rounds, number of rounds, and appropriate ceremony associated. certainly someone can reproduce it. The 21x4+1 is for both incoming and outgoing President so the morning ceremony by itself doesn't prove anything. The 3 guns +1 in reserve isn't an option for the 21 on the list but did match the 19x3+1 for a funeral or foreign dignitary. The timing intervals are also specific for each. Like you I am at the mercy of videos from the event. Even if they added or subtracted shots via editing, it would be difficult to change timing and impossible to add/subtract number of cannon. I found this compelling and tried to feed some hoping to the in-laws that seemed very blackpilled. I dropped it when you can see they are overwhelmed.
