Why are there sixty-five inaugurations and only forty-four presidents?
Because, even though the President might be elected for a second term, each time he must be sworn in again. So there are 65 inaugurations as each one "inaugurates" a new term. It might be the same President, but the term is the thing being celebrated.
How many Inaugurations have there been?
43 This answer is clearly wrong because Barack Obama's inauguration will be the 56th inauguration. We know that Presidents elected to a second term are inaugurated again. The question is how do you get to 56? Here is what I think is the math: 43 Presidents add 15 elected to a second term ( do not count Cleveland as he is in the above count and was the 22nd and 24th President) add another 2 2 because Roosevelt was elected to a third and fourth term subtract 5 Vice Presidents who became President but were never elected to the office of President 55 Total and Barack's inauguration will make 56. As of January 19, 2009, there have been 43 US Presidential inaugurations. When President Elect Barack Obama is sworn into office, on January 20, 2009, this will then have been the 44th US Presidential inauguration.

Well since Obama is the 44th president and some presidents had two terms then it is probably somewhere between 44 and 88, but I'm not sure the exact number.
