  • John Adams -- March 4, 1797
  • John Quincy Adams -- March 4, 1825
  • Martin Van Buren -- March 4, 1837
  • William Henry Harrison -- March 4, 1841

  • Franklin Pierce -- March 4, 1853
  • James Buchanan -- March 4, 1857
  • Rutherford B. Hayes -- March 5, 1877
  • James A. Garfield -- March 4, 1881
  • Benjamin Harrison -- March 4, 1889
  • Theodore Roosevelt -- March 4, 1905

  • Lyndon B. Johnson -- January 20, 1965
  • Jimmy Carter -- January 20, 1977
  • George H.W. Bush -- January 20, 1989

Two inaugural speeches were given by each of the 16 men who were elected U.S. President twice:

  • George Washington -- April 30, 1789 & March 4, 1793
  • Thomas Jefferson -- March 4, 1801 & March 4, 1805
  • James Madison -- March 4, 1809 & March 4, 1813
  • James Monroe -- March 4, 1817 & March 5, 1821
  • Andrew Jackson -- March 4, 1829 & March 4, 1833
  • Abraham Lincoln -- March 4, 1861 & March 4, 1865
  • Ulysses S. Grant -- March 4, 1869 & March 4, 1873
  • Grover Cleveland -- March 4, 1885 & March 4, 1893
  • William McKinley -- March 4, 1897 & March 4, 1901

  • George W. Bush -- January 20, 2001 & January 20, 2005
  • Barack Obama -- January 20, 2009 & January 21, 2013

Four inaugural speeches were given by the man who was elected U.S. President four times, Franklin D. Roosevelt:

  • March 4, 1933
  • January 20, 1937
  • January 20, 1941
  • January 20, 1945

The five U.S. Presidents who never won a presidential election, John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur and Gerald R. Ford, did not have inaugural ceremonies. Pres. Ford addressed the nation via television shortly after taking the Oath of Office in August 1974, but he made it clear that it was not an inaugural speech.

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 is the first event of a presidential term?

How long were the terms of office in 1933 for US president?

The term of office for the U.S. president has always been four years. However , on January 13, 1933 the 20th amendment took effect and moved the inauguration date up from March 4 to January 20. Therefore , Franklin Roosevelt's first term which began on March 4, 1933 ended on January 20, 1936 and so was short of four years.

This man served the shortest time as president he died only one month after being electeddue to illness?

This seems to be William Henry Harrison. He actually served 31 days after he was sworn into office. He gave his [longest ever inaugural speech] speech on a cold and wet day and died of pneumonia a month later. He did not show signs of sickness until about three weeks after the inauguration so many historians believe the sickness had nothing to do with his lengthy speech.
