<p class="xmsonormal">Inauguration Day is traditionally a momentous day in Washington, filled with a sense of optimism and hope for the incoming Administration. This time, Inauguration Day is very  different, held in the midst of a pandemic and just two weeks
 to the day after an insurrection on the Capitol initiated by the outgoing President.

 when the incoming Biden Administration invokes a set of Executive Orders, seventeen in total, as well as rescinds many of the prior Administration’s Executive Actions. These E.O.’s are designed to set the tone for the new Administration on high profile items
 impacting the economy, health care climate, immigration, foreign affairs, and racial equity, with more to be signed in coming days.<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
