Hillary Clinton has been sworn in public as US Secretary of State by Vice President Joe Biden at a ceremony held at Foggy Bottom. Hillary's husband and former US President Bill Clinton and her daughter Chelsea were also present at the ceremonial swearing in ceremony yesterday, which included several former Secretaries of States and Congressional leaders.

She is the 67th Secretary of State. Hillary replaces Condoleezza Rice of the previous Bush Administration. Clinton was earlier sworn-in as US Secretary of State on January 22 shortly after the former first lady won a Senate confirmation.
