(Washington, DC) -- U.S. Representative Ed Case (HI-01) today released the following statement after joining the Inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 47 th President of the United States in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda: “I congratulate President Trump and Vice President Vance on taking the oath as President and Vice President of our great country. “Like all of our fellow Americans, we want what is best for our families, communities, country and world. I will work with them and our colleagues in government wherever and however I can to forge our best way forward. “Beyond any one person, Inaugurations are celebrations of our democracy and the pillars on which it rests. Among them is our system of checks and balances and separation of powers, including the role of Congress as a separate, independent and co-equal branch of government.
