Which president served 2 terms but took the oath of office 4 times?

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.
