Yes, if a president is re-elected, he must be sworn in a second time and an inauguration ceremony will usually be held. We saw this with other presidents, and there is no reason to think we won't see it if President Obama is re-elected.
During the 1700s, the United States saw two different presidents in office: George Washington (1789-1797) and John Adams (1797-1801).
Gerald Ford, the 38th President, was the only president of USA who was never elected to either the position of President or Vice President of the USA. He was appointed to the post of Vice President after the resignation of Nixon VP, Spiro Agnew of Maryland and later become President after the infamous Watergate scandal which saw the resignation of President Nixon. (Presidents John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson and Chester Arthur were all elected as vice-president, but were never elected to be President. They became President due to the death of the elected President. )
Harry S. Truman ( 33rd US President) from April 12, 1945 to January 20, 1953.Dwight D. Eisenhower ( 34th US President) from January 20, 1953 to January 20, 1961As the 1950s began, Harry S. Truman was president, having been president since Franklin D. Roosevelt's death in 1945 (Truman was Roosevelt's Vice-President). Truman was elected as president on his own in 1948. In 1952 Dwight D. Eisenhower was elected President and took office on January 20, 1953, succeeding Truman. Eisenhower was relected in 1996 and served in office until being succeeded by John F. Kennedy on January 20, 1961.So the 1950s saw only two presidents: Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower..
Aaron Burr was Jefferson's running mate in 1800. Before the 12th amendment was ratified, each elector cast two votes. The highest was elected president and the 2nd highest vice-president. In 1800 Jefferson and his running mate tied for highest number of votes, so the House had to break the tie. It should have been automatic, but Burr saw his chance to be president and refused to drop out. The opposing Federalists saw their chance to cause trouble for the Republicans and maybe to make a deal, but eventually Jefferson was elected president and Burr vice-president.
That president was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who died before completing the 4th term. He saw America through the Great Depression and most of WWII.
The military operations led led to the Battle of Antietam saw two future US presidents serve for the Union. Lieutenant Colonel Rutherford B.Hayes commanded the Twenty third Ohio regiment. He would be the 19th US president. He was a Republican and served as president from 1877-81. Hayes had a platoon which was led Sergeant William McKinley. McKinley would become the 25th US president. He served as a Republican from 1897-1901.
They got him elected president. Having said that, I assume you agree with the fact that trying to become President of the US by aligning yourself with any another party other than the two LAME parties we currently have is going to get you, seen on television, like we saw Ralph Nader, but won't actually get the masses to believe your a viable choice. So, essentially, the DP got him elected president.
The constitutional delegates saw potential problems with electing a president by pure democracy. The delegates had two specific concerns. First, they worried that presidential candidates from less populated states would never have a chance at being elected. Second, they did not trust the uneducated majority to make wise political choices. The Electoral College system was established to solve these potential problems.

George Washington was the only future president that was directly involved in the war. He served as an officer in British army and saw serious action. The other future presidents who were alive then, lived near the east coast and were along way from any fighting.
