Presidential Inaugurations

After Spiro Agnew was indicted Gerald Ford was selected as Vice-President. He became President when Richard Nixon resigned August 9th 1974. In December of 1974 Ford selected Nelson Rockefeller as Vice-President

The Speaker of the House would become acting President.

(Depending on the circumstances, the inauguration could be advanced to allow the President-elect to be sworn in earlier, but this has never occurred historically.)

A report from The New York Times states that the District of Columbia and the federal government spent a combined $115.5-million in 2005, "most of it for security, the swearing-in ceremony, clean-up and for a holiday for federal workers." (In addition to the $42.3-million Mr. Bush's inaugural committee spent)

20th Amendment ratified 1/23/1933 Realizing that the severity of the Great Depression required prompt action, there was widespread agreement that inauguration and installation of newly elected Congressmen and Presidents should be moved forward from the traditional March 4th date. When first enacted, it was a time when people travelled by horseback or horse-drawn conveyance. The age of the automobile, improved train travel, and even the nascent airlines made such a delay unnecessary.

"We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change."

January 20, the same as 2009

Actually, the date of the public inauguration has not yet been set, because the day following Sunday the 20th is a federal holiday (Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Observed) so it may be held as late as Tuesday, January 22, 2013. A private ceremony will still most likely be held at 12:00 noon on Sunday as has been done when previous Inauguration Days have fallen on Sunday.

The March 4th date was so travelers could avoid bad weather as most of it was done by foot or horseback. Letters had to be mailed to prospective appointees and replies had to be mailed back. Roads were often impassible. After rapid transportation and communication came into being the March 4th date could be moved to January 20 and the passage of the 20th Amendment to the Constitution in 1933 made the change. Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Second Inauguration was the first to have been held on 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. Since the four month delay was no longer needed, it seemed best let the new administration get to work as soon as they reasonably could get set up.

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.

it represents the freedom and language of the people

The U.S. President officially is sworn in on the 20th of January following the year of his (or her) election. The 20th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution specifies that the end of one president's term and the beginning of their successor's term occurs at noon.

Should the prior president die, be removed from office, or resign, the new President (usually the former Vice President) is then immediately sworn in as soon as possible after the news of the removal, death or resignation is heard.

From 1793 to 1933, Inauguration Day was the 4th of March. It was changed to 20 January by the 20th Amendment, which was ratified January 23, 1933. I believe the reason for Washington's first inauguration occurring on April 30 was weather-related.

The United States Presidential Inauguration occurs traditionally at 12 noon.

It will take place in the Capital on January 20th, 2009.

The ceremony will begin 11:30 Am EST and 8:30 Am Pacific. The Inauguration will begin 11:30 Am EST and 8:30 Am Pacific time.

John F. Kennedy was born May 29th, 1917. He ran for president in 1960. He was 43yrs. old.

The first inauguration was on September 14, 1901. Source: Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site, http://www.nps.gov/thri/historyculture/index.htm The date for his second term was the standard day, at that time, in 1905: March 4.

The ceremony in which the President of the United States takes the oath of office is called an inauguration or the Presidential Inauguration.

William Henry Harrison is the one. He never recovered from it and died about one month later.

The Republican Presidents that completed two terms in office were:

Ulysses S. Grant, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.

Abraham Lincoln , William McKinley and Richard Nixon was elected to two terms but did not complete their second terms.

The Government of France is a semi-presidential system. France declares itself "an indivisible, secular, democratic and social republic" it is called a French Constitution of the 5th Republic.

The Fifth Republic is the fifth and current republican constitution of France, which was introduced on 4 October 1958. The Fifth Republic emerged from the collapse of the French Fourth Republic, replacing a parliamentary government with a semi-presidential system. It is France's third longest enduring regime, after the Ancien Régime and the Third Republic.

The first Republic came to being after the execution of King Louis XVI and the end of the Great Fear, the Second Republic was started when napoleon came to power, and the Third Republic was started after Napoleon was overthrown, etcetera. Basically, all of these republics came out of the overthrowing of rulers or the starting of revolutions. However, the French Revolution that led to the First Republic was by far the most violent revolution of the French.

They have a legislative and judicial branch. The President has a degree of direct power, (able to circumvent the legislative and judicial branches), but the Prime Minister has the most executive power. The legislative is a form of Parliament and a Senate.
