Why was inauguration date changed in 1933?
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.

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.

When will the next president be sworn into office?
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 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.
