Vice President Joe Biden was in rare form at the recent Senate swearing-in reenactment ceremony inside the U.S. Capitol Building Jan. 3, as senators had a chance to go before the cameras with family members. Throughout the ceremony, the vice president took center stage while greeting senators, mothers and kids with hugs and kisses and slightly off-color remarks. The official more somber swearing-in ceremony happened earlier in the Senate chambers on the opening day of the 113th Congress.
Also included are ceremonial swearing-n ceremonies of congressmen with Speaker John Boehner, and the Congressional Black Caucus.
