President Barack Obama was officially sworn in Sunday for his second term as president of the United States, ahead of Monday's public events.
In a small and short ceremony at the White House, Obama recited the constitutionally mandated oath of office for the third of four expected times during his time in office.
Sunday's official swearing-in, administered by Chief Justice John Roberts, was the 57th inauguration of a president in American history.
Wearing a dark suit and blue tie, Obama repeated the directive to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." He was joined by First Lady Michelle Obama and his daughters Sasha and Malia.
After thanking Roberts and waving to cameras, Obama made no additional remarks before the First Family left the White House's Blue Room. He will deliver his public inaugural address Monday on the west front of the United States Capitol.
