Was it an Inauguration or a taking of the oath of office?
Was it an Inauguration or a taking of the oath of office? According to United_States_presidential_inauguration it was not an inauguration. Rodchen (talk) 21:54, 2 June 2011 (UTC)


 * "The only inauguration element mandated by the United States Constitution is that the President make an oath or affirmation before that person can "enter on the Execution" of the office of the presidency. However, over the years, various traditions have arisen that have expanded the inauguration from a simple oath-taking ceremony to a day-long event, including parades, speeches, and balls."

Coolidge did that with a public notary so that qualifies... technically. He did the oath again a day later with high ranking judge. So according to the source you specified, its pretty clearly laid out that the only required inauguration event is the oath. I must be missing your point, please specify your question in greater detail. Also its okay to quote short passages from an article to highlight your question. 151.213.95.167 (talk) 09:48, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

My point is that according to that page, an inauguration occurs only every 4 years, and any other of somebody becoming president, is a swearing in, not an inauguration. Rodchen (talk) 23:16, 12 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I was under the impression that whenever the president takes the oath of office it is an inauguration. The oath is the inaugural oath after all.  Do you have a source on that?  161.150.2.58 (talk) 12:14, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
