On January 21, 2013, Barack Obama became the only two-term U.S. President to date (late January 2013) to take the U.S. Presidential Oath of Office four times. On January 21, 2009, the day after President Obama's first inauguration, he repeated the Oath with Chief Justice John Roberts because Justice Roberts had misspoken the Oath during the public ceremony. Inauguration Day has fallen on a Sunday three times since the date was changed to January 20, in 1957, in 1985 and in 2013. In each case, the President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama respectively, was starting his second term, and in each case the President took the Oath of Office in a private ceremony on Sunday the 20th then repeated the Oath during the public ceremony on Monday the 21st.

The debt ceiling was raised seven times under the Bush administration (from 2000-2008).From a Sept 2008 CBS story: "Buried deep in the hundred pages of bailout legislation is a provision that would raise the statutory ceiling on the national debt to $11.315 trillion. It'll be the 7th time the debt limit has been raised during this administration. In fact it was just two months ago, on July 30, that President Bush signed the Housing and Economic Recovery Act, which contained a provision raising the debt ceiling to $10.615 trillion."
