The timing of the 21 gun salute was way off for a Presidential inauguration. They have different intervals for different events. The intervals for Biden were longer. Right off the top of my head I can't remember the exact length, but it was something like 7 seconds, when it should have been like 2. Strangely enough, Donald Trump got a 21 gun salute when he left Andrews on January 20th, and the timing was 2 seconds.
Shadow president or actual, acting president?
21 gun salute for the inauguration meant something.
Can you tell me what the significance is? Was there another salute? I'll try to do a search.
