PBS News(@NewsHour):Monday's change of Oval Office occupants is a ritual full of traditions and customs. One of the more modern ones is presidential letters written to their successors and left on the Oval Office desk. “The theme, in general, is about patriotism, service, the importance of the office being bigger than one person and sort of an inspirational encouragement for the next person in office,” @lmchervinsky told @johnyangtv.
