About this clock
A calendar, not a commentary.
Every four years the United States runs the same appointment. The 20th Amendment to the Constitution sets it precisely: a presidential term ends at noon on January 20, and the next term begins the same minute. No drama, no interpretation — just a fixed point on the calendar.
This page does one small thing with that fact: it counts down to it, and shows how much of the current term has already gone by. It takes no position on the presidency, the president, or what happens next. It’s a clock — the same way a countdown to New Year’s or a game release is a clock.
Good questions
The fine print, in plain English
When exactly does the current presidential term end?
At noon Eastern Time on January 20, 2029. The 20th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution fixes the end of a presidential term at noon on January 20, so a new (or re-elected) president is sworn in that same day.
Why does the clock count to noon and not midnight?
Because the Constitution says so. Section 1 of the 20th Amendment sets the moment the terms of the President and Vice President end as noon on the 20th day of January. The clock uses noon Eastern Time (17:00 UTC) on January 20, 2029.
How is the percentage of the term calculated?
The current four-year term runs from noon ET on January 20, 2025 to noon ET on January 20, 2029 — 1,461 days. The percentage is simply how much of that fixed window has already passed as of right now.
Is this site affiliated with Donald Trump or the U.S. government?
No. It is an independent, non-partisan clock. It has no affiliation with, and is not endorsed or sponsored by, Donald J. Trump, any campaign, political party, or any government body. It only counts down to a date fixed by the Constitution.
