Inauguration Day has fallen on a Sunday seven times to date, in 1821, 1849, 1877, 1917, 1957, 1985 and 2013. Five of those times a re-elected President was starting his second term, but in 1849 and 1877 a new President was taking office.
Zachary Taylor is the one who is remembered for refusing to take the Oath of Office on Sunday, March 4, 1849. Although he did not take the Oath of Office until March 5, 1849, his presidency is considered to have begun on March 4.
In 1821, James Monroe also took the Oath of Office on Monday, March 5 only. It is probably because it was his second inauguration that it does not stand out as much in history.
In 1877, Rutherford B. Hayes took the Oath privately on Saturday, March 3, then again publicly on Monday, March 5.
In 1917, 1957, 1985 and 2013, Presidents Wilson, Eisenhower, Reagan and Obama respectively took the Oath privately on Sunday then again publicly on Monday.
