Presidential traditions

Presidential traditions are established practices and customs that have become part of how U.S. Presidents conduct their duties and public image. These include delivering an inaugural address, hosting the White House Easter Egg Roll, attending the State of the Union, and participating in memorial events. Such traditions help create continuity, honor history, and foster national unity. While not always legally required, these customs symbolize leadership, respect for democratic processes, and a connection to the American people, shaping the presidency's role beyond formal constitutional duties.
