An inauguration is a formal ceremony marking the beginning of something, such as a term of office. It is also a ceremony in which an oath of office is taken. George Washington was the first US President to be inaugurated. He took the oath of office on 3 Apri 1798, so that was the first US Presidential Inauguration. they have been held every four years since then.
George Washington added the words "So help me God." to the end of the oath of office that he took when being sworn in as president. The actual wording of the oath is in Article II of the Constitution and does not contain that phrase. Washington added it on his own.
Chester A. Arthur is the first president who is known to have added those four words to the constitutional oath. Even though many people have come to believe that George Washington added "So help me God," no one has ever found a firsthand account to support that notion. It has only been added in a consecutive manner since FDR.
Each of the first four U.S. Presidents left office at the age of 65.
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.
