"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

This year it amounts to each lawmaker plus a guest. Some members of Congress have already opened up submission forms, with the caveat that nothing is guaranteed.

The Biden team has "strongly encouraged" people to refrain from travelling to Washington to attend, amid fears of virus spread.
