A speech by the president on his or her first day of office
It actually was not that short. President Lincoln's second Inaugural Address was approximately 700 words in length. You are probably thinking of President George Washington's second Inaugural Address, which was the shortest Presidential Inaugural Address in history, to date.

Abraham Lincoln became the 1st President to include African-Americans in his Inaugural Day Parade in 1865.
March 4, 1861. He gave his second inaugural address on March 4, 1865.
I do not understand your question. Every president was sworn in, and had some of formal inauguration day ceremonies to celebrate the important day.
President Clinton; he had 14 inaugural balls.
Yes on January 21, 2012 since January 20 is on a Sunday. Actually, by law (the 20th Amendment to the Constitution), Inaugural Day is ALWAYS the 20th of January in the year following the general election. All president's terms end at noon on Jan 20th, and thus, that day is always Inaugural Day. To answer the question, yes, even for a President who has been re-elected, there is always an Inaugural Day, as they don't get their term extended, but rather get a whole new term, and Inaugural Day officially starts that new term.
The date of the U.S. Presidential Inauguration was moved to January 20 beginning in 1937 (Inauguration Day had been March 4 from Washington's time through 1933).
An inaugural speech is a speech given on the day that someone is sworn in to office, such as a president or mayor. Being sworn in also called an inauguration.
Lincoln's first inaugural address was on MArch 4, 1861!!
