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.

The audio is being muted at the beginning of the 21 gun salute, but you can hear the cannons going off staring at :37 while the marine band plays. The ABC commentator even mentions the 21 gun salute and he’s introduced as “The President of the United States”…
Melania even wore black for that funeral!
