(5 years ago)President Donald Trump will not participate in his successor Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony on Wednesday, but his absence will have little impact on what might be considered the most important moment of the day: the delivery of the nuclear suitcase. The suitcase, which contains the equipment the president needs [...]
The case, which contains the equipment the president needs to verify his orders and launch a nuclear attack, is held by an assistant, military personnel, who escorts the president at any time until the last second before he officially leaves the White House on January 20th.
At a common ceremony, the suitcase would be handed over to another military man, this time assigned to Biden, while he takes the oath and takes office. But on Wednesday, this surrender will take place slightly differently, as Trump is expected to leave for Florida before the Biden ceremony begins.
Experts say the suitcase, most likely, will travel with Trump, which means that at some point, there will be two different suitcases in two different countries. It will be a special challenge for the transition of power to become as fluent as possible.
