January 2001, Washington, USA.

The sky is clear and good weather naturally predicts something good happens. Today is the inauguration ceremony of George Walker Bush, the 43rd President of the United States.

Mr. Bush defeated his opponents of the ** Party with an absolute advantage and ascended the throne of president. During his father's election, Chen Lin also made a lot of efforts and donated 30 million US dollars in cash three times. At the same time, what helped his father the most was his Star TV station spared no effort to promote it.

After nearly two years of development, Star TV has become a medium-sized TV station that is well-known in the United States. Although its overall strength is only one-fifth of that of any of the five major public TV stations in the United States, its reputation is no longer inferior to that.

Variety shows, 730 American TV Theater, and travel and food programs have now become the three ace shows of Star TV, "The Voice of America" ​​and "The Force of Evil", "The Vampire Day", "4400" and "Lost" four classic American dramas firmly lock on the remote controls in the hands of a large number of American audiences.

Star TV, which has initially had strength and fame, spared no effort to promote Mr. Bush, and the effect was naturally extraordinary.

From the second half of 1999 to the year and a half in 2000, Star TV specially opened a news channel, and the time period increased from 1 hour to 4 hours. The political tendency of the program was obviously biased towards the Republican Party. Therefore, Star TV replaced Fox's News Station and became the main propaganda position of the Republican Party and the ** Party propaganda position cnn fought a stage battle.

The American people unanimously labeled the news channel of Star TV as the Republican Party and the Bush family. This is rare in the United States. Most of the news media in the United States pursue liberalism, and even CNN is not very obvious to guide the ** party.

Because of Bush's father, Chen Lin chose the Republican side without hesitation. His clear-cut side selection won the Republican side. If Chen Lin hadn't been unwilling to have an American nationality, Bush's father would have brought him to the Republican Party long ago, but Chen Lin also made a compromise plan to let Yu's mother join the Republican Party. The father understood and praised Chen Lin's concept of nationality and agreed to introduce Yu's mother to join.

Yu's current identity is a Republican congressman and one of his father's aides and advisers.

Today is the day when my father takes office as president. Chen Lin and Yu Yu are with him as his son and daughter.

There is a cumbersome procedure for the inauguration of the US president. First, when he was elected as president early in the morning, this custom was implemented since President Roosevelt took office in 1933.

On the way to the church, Chen Lin asked Mr. Bush a question: "Dad, as far as I know, the First Amendment to the US Constitution stipulates that political axes shall not give preferential treatment to any religion. Why do the president have to pray to the church when he is in office, and the president also has to take a Bible to sworn. Isn't this obviously biased towards a certain religion?"

"Haha." Bush Jr. smiled: "Jason, if you can see this problem, it means you are beginning to really understand the United States in depth."

Bush Jr. paused and continued: "In fact, every year when the president presses the Bible, he will cause some public opinion storm. In the past, other religious teams have sued the US president for the Supreme Court. The charge is for discrimination against other religions. In the end, the Supreme ** official acquits the president. Do you know why?"

Chen Lin shook his head, "In the famous "Gettysburg Speech", Lincoln proposed that the government is owned by the people, governed by the people, and enjoyed by the people. In such a political axe, citizens take turns to rule and be ruled. Therefore, in the US constitutionalism, the position of a citizen is the first and a permanent position. In contrast, all other positions, including the president, are second and temporary. After the president becomes president, he goes back to be his citizen. As a citizen, he has freedom of religious belief. The reason for the official is that the president is also a citizen and he has his own freedom of belief. When this right to freedom conflicts with other powers, such as discrimination against other religions, the constitution stipulates that the right to freedom is preferred."

When Bush saw Chen Lin's understanding, he introduced the religious policy of the United States more: politics does not interfere in religion, and religion cannot interfere in politics. It is clear that although in formal occasions, the US president will swear by the Bible when he takes office, it does not prevent him from not storing the rivers. Because Americans deeply know that religion can only focus on the needs of people's souls, politics can only focus on the needs of people's surnames, and both legs are intact to walk normally, and like a person, there is an irrefutable truth: if the soul of a person is not free, it is hell on earth.

Bush Jr. taught Chen Lin a small American version of philosophy class, and soon the convoy entered the church.

Chen Lin was very curious about these rituals and ceremonies of Americans. This was also the first time he had entered a church in his life. Baptism, prayer, sing verses, and reading the Bible made him feel very strange. There was also a dedication that made him feel very familiar.

The so-called dedication is to donate money to the church. It seems that all religions in the world are the same in this regard. Chen Lin, like other people, donated $100.

After leaving the church, everyone lined up to Capitol Hill. Capitol Hill, which is commonly known as the Capitol, is the location of the Congress office of the US federal legislature.

The large lawn on the east side of the Capitol is where previous presidents hold their inauguration ceremony. The outgoing president accompanied the elected president to take the oath of office.

The outgoing President Clinton and President-elect Bush stood on the inauguration stage together. Bush's wife Laura, two young daughters, as well as family members such as Chen Lin and Yu Yu stood behind him.

On the lawn directly in front of the two presidents were many journalists and guests watching the ceremony.

Chen Lin stood behind Mr. Bush and looked down at the American celebrities from all walks of life on the lawn, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He didn't know if there were any Chinese faces like him standing behind the president when he was sworn in as a successive president of the United States? But he was sure that he and his wife were standing behind the 43rd president of the United States at this moment, and were close family members. This scene would definitely be noticed by the domestic people.

How would domestic media think of the two people who had a US president as their father? Do they praise or belittle or ridicule? However, Chen Lin believes that positive comments will still be mostly. Now it is 2001, not the era when the words of the US are always called the US imperialist in the 1970s. The ideas have been open, and China and the United States are in normal exchanges. The two countries have not only no national hatred but also friendship in history.

Just as Chen Lin's thoughts were flying, the voice of Mr. Bush's oath came from his ears: "...I swear solemnly that I will faithfully carry out the presidency of the United States, and do my best to abide by, uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States."

The last word of Bush Jr., just fell, "Boom boom boom!" The military ceremonial team set off a salute on the lawn, and the salute came over and gathered military music. Everyone applauded warmly to congratulate George Walker Bush on his official position as the 43rd President of the United States.

At around 11 a.m., President Bush, led by his family and officials of this term, entered the White House in a mighty manner.

In the White House Presidential Office, Bush Jr. took photos with the new vice president, secretary of state, secretary of defense and other officials, and then took photos with his family.

"Jason and Alina, you two sit next to me and Laura." Bush asked Chen Lin and Yu Yu to sit next to the two parents, "Jaena and Barba, you two sit on the lap of your parents, let grandpa sit in the middle, and our family take a family photo."

President Bush arranged for the family to sit. In the first row, Bush was sitting in the middle. On both sides were Bush and his wife, on both sides were Chen Lin and Yu Yu, and on the second row were Bush's younger brother and his family of three.

"Please smile, one, two, three—ok."

After taking the photos, everyone went to a hall in the White House, where a presidential inauguration committee, which was jointly formed by the Senate and House of Representatives, held a lunch meeting.

After the lunch meeting, the presidential convoy drove along Pennsylvania Avenue in the afternoon, accompanied by a guard of honor, civil groups, military bands and various floats. The president, vice president and guests boarded the viewing platform in front of the White House to watch the parade.

There is also a dance party to celebrate the inauguration of the president at night.
