When is inauguration day not held on January 20?
Since the ratification of the 20th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1933, U.S. presidential and vice-presidential terms always begin/end on the 20th of January. However, when that day has fallen on a Sunday, the President took the Oath of Office privately on the 20th then again publicly on the 21st. Inauguration Day has fallen on a Sunday three times since 1933: in 1957 (Pres. Eisenhower's second inauguration), in 1985 (Pres. Reagan's second inauguration) and in 2013 (Pres. Obama's second inauguration).

His second term was the first U.S. Presidential term that began on January 20 (instead of March 4); his second inauguration was the first one to take place on January 20. Because he was the only person elected U.S. President four times, he was also the only President inaugurated four times. Franklin D. Roosevelt was the only person ever to win a U.S. Presidential election after losing a U.S. Vice-Presidential election. Since then, two others were presidential nominees after losing a vice-presidential election, Walter Mondale in 1984 and Bob Dole in 1996, but they both lost.

Is inauguration date always January 20th?
Except for Washington's first inaugural, when he was sworn in on April 30, 1789, all presidents until 1937 were inaugurated in March in an effort to avoid bad weather. The 20th Amendment to the Constitution (passed in 1933) changed the inaugural date to January 20. Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Second Inauguration was the first to have been held on that date. The date of January 20th for the presidential inauguration was established by the 1933 ratification of the Twentieth Amendment, which changed the start date of the new presidential term from March 4th. The reason given was that due to the modern conveniences of better communications, the election results could be confirmed faster than in olden times. They did not want to make our Congress and president wait until almost the end of the first quarter of the year to begin their service.
