–‘american president’ and other elected officials are sworn into office-
january 20th
(every 4 years)
(january 21st if the 20th falls on a sunday)
(the inauguration of the President of the United States is a ceremony to mark the commencement of a new four-year term of a president of the ‘United States’)
(an inauguration ceremony takes place for each term of a president, even if the president continues in office for a second term)
(since 1937, Inauguration Day takes place on January 20 following a ‘presidential election’)
(the term of a president commences at noon (ET) on that day, when the ‘Chief Justice’ administers the oath to the president)
(however, when January 20 falls on a Sunday, the ‘Chief Justice’ administers the oath to the president on that day privately and then again in a public ceremony the next day, on Monday, January 21)
(the most recent public presidential inauguration ceremony was the swearing in of President Barack Obama to begin his second four-year term in office, which took place on Monday, January 21, 2013)
(the only inauguration element mandated by the ‘United States Constitution’ is that the president make an oath or affirmation before that person can “enter on the Execution” of the office of the presidency)
(however, over the years, various traditions have arisen that have expanded the inauguration from a simple oath-taking ceremony to a day-long event, including parades, speeches, and balls)
(from the presidency of ‘Andrew Jackson’ through that of ‘Jimmy Carter’, the primary ‘Inauguration Day’ ceremony took place on the Capitol’s ‘East Portico’)
(since the 1981 inauguration of ‘Ronald Reagan’, the ceremony has been held at the Capitol’s ‘West Front’)
(the inaugurations of ‘William Howard Taft’ in 1909 and ‘Reagan’ in 1985 were moved inside the ‘Capitol’ because of cold, wintry weather)
(the inaugurations of 1817 and 1945 were held at other locations in Washington, D.C. (for very different reasons) due to the ‘War of 1812’ and ‘World War II’ respectively)
(although the ‘Constitution’ does not mandate that anyone in particular should administer the ‘presidential oath of office’, it is typically administered by the ‘chief justice’)
(since 1789, the oath has been administered at 57 scheduled public inaugurations, by 15 ‘chief justices’, one ‘associate justice’, and one ‘New York state judge’)
(others, in addition to the ‘chief justice’, have administered the oath of office to several of the 9 vice presidents who succeeded to the presidency upon their predecessor’s death or resignation intra-term)
(when a ‘new president’ assumed office under these circumstances the inauguration is kept low-key, and conducted without ‘pomp’ or ‘fanfare’)
