Vice President Joe Biden was sworn in for his second term on Sunday.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor administered the oath of office to Biden in the Naval Observatory, the vice president’s official residence.

Sotomayor was the first Hispanic and the fourth woman to swear in a president or a vice president. After Sotomayor administered the oath, Biden kissed the justice and thanked her.
