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.

This. Also check out the parade. Crooked lines by Marines, Drum and Fife Corps with hats blowing off, crooked lines, lowered staff.
The guy taking his hat off with arms spread out in rightful disrespect, too.
I read someplace (don't think that counts as sauce) that his removing his hat was how the enemy was greeted in 1776. Makes sense.
