The bald eagle, a symbol of the power and strength of the United States for more than 240 years, earned an overdue honor on Tuesday: It officially became the country’s national bird.

President Joe Biden signed 50 bills into law on Tuesday that include making the bald eagle the country's official bird and one that stops members of Congress from collecting their pensions if convicted of crimes.

President-elect Trump is seizing the reins of power early and, according to lawmakers in both parties, already acting as president, while Joe Biden, in many ways, has kept a lower profile during the final days of his presidency.

President-elect Trump and President Biden bid Americans a merry Christmas as the nation nears a change in presidential administrations.

The outgoing and incoming presidents shared messages with the country on Christmas morning as President Joe Biden is marking his final celebration as an occupant of the White House. President-elect Donald Trump shared a video montage of messages he sent out when he was president and several posts referencing goals for his next administration.
