WASHINGTON, DC - As a curfew was imposed on Washington, and about six hours after U.S. President Donald Trump riled up a crowd of about 10,000 outside the White House, officials declared the U.S. Capitol complex secure.
January 6 is supposed to be a day of propriety and ceremony. The mahogany boxes containing the certified votes of the Electoral College are carried into the the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives for a Joint Session of the U.S. Session. Alphabetically, the certified results of each state are supposed to be read aloud and then confirmed, the result being the official anointment of the next president of the United States.
