US Vice President Joe Biden has taken the oath of office for his second term at a small ceremony at his official residence.
He used a bible with a Celtic cross on the cover that has been in his family since 1893.
Mr Biden chose Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to swear him in, making her the first Hispanic judge to ever administer an oath of office for one of the nation's two highest offices.
His family, about 120 guests and a few reporters witnessed the private ceremony.
The US Constitution requires the president and vice president to be sworn in on 20 January.
President Barack Obama is slated to take his oath at a small ceremony at the White House at 11.55am EST (4.55pm Irish time)
Mr Obama and Biden will repeat their oaths tomorrow during a public ceremony at the US Capitol.
The ceremony will be followed by Obama's inaugural address and the inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, from the Capitol to the White House.
