Today marks one week into President Donald’s Trump presidency and Roll Call’s photographers have captured much of the action in Washington and Philadelphia, where GOP members of Congress held their annual retreat to discuss party strategy.

Here’s the week in photos, including a few from inauguration, though we chronicled that day more extensively here.
