What would a Wizarding Inauguration look like?

With the inauguration finally behind us, and Joe Biden now President of the United States, it got me wondering how the American Ministry would handle an inauguration amidst the same tensions we have in the real world today.

While it is never explicitly mentioned in the books, J.K. Rowling has given more information about what the U.S. Ministry of Magic looks like, with it being called the Magical Congress of the United States of America. There is even a President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America. One of those Presidents was even involved in the theft and eventual return of the Liechtenstein Quidditch mascot in 2014.

It is not laid out specifically how the new President is chosen, but seeing as most of the setup of the MACUSA mirrors our own world, it is easy to assume that there is a voting process by the American magical community. Having to abide by the Statute of Secrecy, as to not to tip of the real world of their existence, an inauguration would have to take on a very different look than the one our Presidents are accustomed to.

There could be a ceremony that is held to swear in the new President inside the MACUSA that could be attended by Congress members, but it is doubtful that anyone who is not involved with the government would be allowed in. Security would be extra tight, with more than a few Aurors being on high alert as the entire government would be assembled in one place.

The last month has been a crazy time in American history, and it is interesting to look and see how the magical community would have handled the events that took place. It would be fascinating to get more information on how the MACUSA and its President operates on a day to day basis.
