Best Answer

Technically, there is no Constitutional requirement saying that the President must take the Oath of Office in Washington, D.C., and both George Washington and John Adams took their Oaths of Office in wherever happened to be the Capital at the time, either New York, N.Y. or Philadelphia, P.A. until the 1800s. However, every President since has taken the Oath at the US Capitol in Washington, D.C., except Franklin Roosevelt's 4th Oath, which was taken on the South Portico of the White House.
