{{Short description|Committee of the U.S. Congress formed every four years to manage presidential inaugurations}}
A '''Joint Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies''' is a [[Select or special committee (United States)|special]] [[Joint Committee of the United States Congress|joint committee]] of the [[United States Congress]] formed every four years to manage [[United States presidential inauguration|presidential inaugurations]]. Such committee has been formed every four years since the [[Second inauguration of William McKinley|1901 inauguration]] of [[William McKinley]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.inaugural.senate.gov/about/past-committees/|title=Inaugural Committees|publisher=United States Senate|access-date=April 10, 2020}}</ref> The members are sitting [[United States Senate|U.S. senators]] and [[United States House of Representatives|representatives]]. Typically, the House members include the [[Speaker of the United States House of Representatives|speaker of the House]] as well as the House majority and minority leaders. The Senate members are drawn from the leadership of the [[Senate Committee on Rules and Administration]] (previously known by other names). A senator acts as chair, and is therefore drawn from the majority party of the Senate. Membership in the committee gives its members the opportunity to control tickets to the inauguration ceremonies as well as other electoral-related ceremonies.
