A video presented at the Republican National Convention shows President Donald Trump presiding over a naturalization ceremony for new American citizens.

The five come from Bolivia, Ghana, India, Lebanon and Sudan.

The event was taped in recent days as Trump and his re-election campaign looked to find ways to present a softer image of the president to the American people.

Under a federal law known as the Hatch Act, civilian employees in the executive branch cannot use their titles when doing political work. They are also prohibited from taking part in any partisan activity while on the clock. The president and the vice president are exempt from the rules.
