Then-Vice President Joe Biden stood behind Beyoncé as she performed the anthem during President Barack Obama’s second inauguration in 2013, while America’s Got Talent singer Jackie Evancho took on the task for President Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2017.

Bush had Army Staff Sgt. Alec T. Maly (2001) and Air Force Tech. Sgt. Bradley Bennett (2005) perform the song for his inaugurations.
