Are there inaugural balls etc for second term presidents?
Absolutely.
When and where was George Washington inaugurated?
On April 30, 1789, Washington was inaugurated in New York City, He was sworn in on a balcony at the Federal Building on Wall Street, New York City, New York New York which was the nation's capital during Washington's first term. The capital moved to Philadelphia for his second term and he was inaugurated there in the Senate chamber of Congress Hall to begin his second term.
Why is there 44 presidents and 56 inauguraltion?
Because if a president serves two terms in a row, he (or soon, she) gets to keep the same number. So George W Bush was not 43 and 44, he was only 43. However, the second four year term is inaugurated in the same was as the first.
How many Inaugurations have there been?
43 This answer is clearly wrong because Barack Obama's inauguration will be the 56th inauguration. We know that Presidents elected to a second term are inaugurated again. The question is how do you get to 56? Here is what I think is the math: 43 Presidents add 15 elected to a second term ( do not count Cleveland as he is in the above count and was the 22nd and 24th President) add another 2 2 because Roosevelt was elected to a third and fourth term subtract 5 Vice Presidents who became President but were never elected to the office of President 55 Total and Barack's inauguration will make 56. As of January 19, 2009, there have been 43 US Presidential inaugurations. When President Elect Barack Obama is sworn into office, on January 20, 2009, this will then have been the 44th US Presidential inauguration.
What presidents time in office called?
