Episode Description

Host: Marty Carpenter 

President-elect Donald Trump is waiting to hear back from Chinese President Xi Jingping after he invited him to attend his inauguration next month. Xi has yet to accept the invitation. Ambassadors and other diplomats are typically invited to inaugurations, but State Department records dating back to 1874 show that a foreign leader has never attended a transfer-of-power ceremony. Anna Pechenkina, Associate Professor of Political Science at Utah State University, joins Marty Carpenter to explain why this precedent is so intriguing.
