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.

I asked about that on a video on YT and got a good answer. Called "Ceremonial Rest". Can search that up and check images. Apparently it's specific to Marines. I was unfamiliar to it having been in the AF, never encountered it.
Can you point me in the right direction for the images? I can find a similar pose but they all have weapons in their hands when they are in front.
Look for funeral pictures as those seem to have them most.
