it’s a new day in America every four
years welcome to watchmojo.com seulement
we’re counting down the top five
presidential inauguration facts but
knowing that here on earth God’s work
must truly be our own the United States
presidential inauguration is the
ceremony that officially kicks off in
American president’s term in office
while some have criticized the event as
being overly ceremonial and somewhat
unnecessary it has a long history
involving a number of interesting
traditions that are certainly worth
knowing preserve protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States number
five it used to happen March 4th up
until 1937 the president didn’t take
power until four months after election
night at the time it was a question of
technological limitation vote counting
travel and coordination were
significantly more time-intensive back
then with the ratification of the 20th
amendment however this period of
transition was drastic and shortened but
what purpose does it serve now apart
from making the sitting president a lame
duck well most importantly it allows the
new administration to hire some four
thousand staff and train them before
taking on the massive responsibility of
running the White House and country the
president’s transition team works to
prepare each major agency or federal
department and much more and he will
probably bring in some Republican
establishment figures perhaps in that
national security team George it’s not
always a smooth transition Hoover to
Roosevelt and Clinton to Bush were
notoriously problematic but for the most
part it’s a time of cooperation you
always want to be underestimated by your
adversaries he consistently benefited by
being underestimated number for one man
in history has been on both sides of the
swearing-in process William Howard Taft
was the 27th president of the United
States and was inaugurated on March 4th
1909 he lost his re-election campaign to
Woodrow Wilson in 1912 after which he
returned to the legal profession as a
Perfector given that he had appointed
numerous federal judges it was
considered a conflict of interest for
him to practice as an actual lawyer
during the time she remains very
involved in politics in various ways
the return of the Republican Party to
power under warren g harding taps was
named chief justice on July 11th 1921 he
officially became the only person in
history to hold the position of both
president and chief justice in this
position he swore in both President
Coolidge and Hoover at their respective
inaugurations number three it happens
outdoors because of a historic fight on
April 30th 1789 George Washington became
the first president of the United States
but his inauguration was the last one to
be held outdoors until 1817 Washington’s
second inauguration was performed in
Senate chambers which became tradition
when James Monroe was inaugurated
however the Capitol building was still
under reconstruction following the fire
of 1814 it was suggested that he take
the oath in the temporary old brick
Capitol which at the time house Congress
sparking controversy and argument
allegedly no one could agree as to
whether it was more appropriate for him
to use the Senate or the House chambers
according to legend Monroe grew sick of
the debate and moves the affair outside
since that day weather permitting all
inaugurations have been an outdoor
affair what in the world was he trying
to prove by not wearing an overcoat
number two it’s got a bit of a drunk
history to it nowadays the vice
president is sworn in just before the
president I just farted jr. do solemnly
swear but up until 1937 they had their
very own ceremony and inaugural speech
in 1865 VP Andrew Johnson brought a
stream dishonor to his office by doing
the whole thing wasted allegedly
suffering from ill health other reports
say that he was hungover and took a
couple of twigs of whiskey for a little
hair of the dog here hair the dog that
bit me his seven minute speech ran ten
minutes long and only ended when someone
intervened
during the oath he drunkenly kissed the
Bible then there was the ever
controversial president Jackson who
essentially threw a rager at the White
House following his inauguration the
after-party starts in 15 minutes
things quickly got out of hand and he
slipped out a window or side door
the destructive festivities only ended
when the crowd was lured out onto the
front lawn with more booze thousands of
dollars worth of damage was done to the
White House

number one so you don’t always go as
planned and I will faithfully execute
the office of President of the United
States as we are saying inaugurations
have a tendency of going off the rails
JFK ceremony was a veritable train wreck
an overnight snowstorm also ended it
before it started and an electrical
failure resulted in a smoking lectern
and poet Robert Frost struggled to
recite Kennedy’s requested poems and
then accidentally called him mr. John
Finley at least JFK’s inaugural address
ended smoothly which can’t be said for
all presidents I do not shrink from this
responsibility I welcome it president
Harrison gave an insanely long-winded
two-hour address at his cold rainy
inauguration and died of pneumonia just
one month later Obama actually needed to
do over after jumbled oath swearing in
process I Barack Hussein Obama I proudly
swear I Barack Hussein Obama do solemnly
swear
dead birds severe diarrhea and the worst
coach exorcism in history presidential
inauguration has seen it all over the
years let us brave once more the icy
currents and endure what storms may come
so just how familiar were you with the
inauguration before today will you be
tuning in to watch the ceremony when the
next president takes office for more
stately top tens and smoking lecture and
top fives
be sure to subscribe to watchmojo.com on
this day we come to proclaim an end to
the petty grievances and false promises
the recriminations and worn-out dogmas
that for far too long have strangled our
politics
