HISTORY OF THE INAUGURATIONEach presidential inauguration opens a new chapter inAmerican history. It is a momentous occasion in whichWashington welcomes all the country’s citizens tohonor and celebrate the peaceful transition of power tothe nation’s next chief executive. The inauguration is aunique opportunity to meet the country’s new leaders,who will share their insight into the politics and powerof the presidency over the next four years.President Abraham Lincolnperhaps best summed up thishistoric event when, facing adivided nation, he said,“It is but ordinary charity toattribute the fact that in soattaching himself to the partywhich his judgment prefers, thecitizen believes he therebypromotes the best interests of thewhole country, and when anelection is passed, it is altogetherbefitting a free people that, untilthe next election, they should beas one people.”Photo taken by Charles Ommanney.INAUGURAL SWEARING-IN CEREMONYOn Saturday, January 20, 2001, at the historic WestFront of the Capitol, George Walker Bush will be swornin as the 43rd president of the United States. He willrecite the 35-word oath that every president has spoken27

since 1789, pledging his allegiance and commitment tothe country’s highest office.The ceremony will begin at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday,January 20, at the United States Capitol. It isrecommended that you arrive at least one hourprior to the start time.THE OATHThe oath of office is found in Article II, Section 1,Clause 8 of the United States Constitution and reads:Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shalltake the following Oath or Affirmation:—“I do solemnlyswear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office ofPresident of the United States, and will to the best of myAbility, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution ofthe United States.”History tells us that in 1789, during the inaugurationof our first president, George Washington impulsivelykissed the Bible upon which his hand rested and addedthe words “So help me, God” – which became thewords spoken by every president since.The story of the president’s title is another interestingaspect of inaugural history. While Washington wastraveling en route to the first inauguration, VicePresident-elect John Adams and Congress weredeciding on Washington’s official title as leader of thecountry. Adams wanted “His Most Benign Highness,”but a congressional committee decided on the title weuse today: “President of the United States.”28

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESSFollowing the oath, the president addresses the people,setting the tone for the future administration andoutlining plans for the country. It is an event that iscovered by thousands of members of the media andbroadcast all over the world. But the publichas not always been privy to the significantwords of our next president. In 1789, onlythe members of Congress assembled inFederal Hall heard Washington’s inauguraladdress. After James Madison’s swearingin20 years later, the speech was publishedin the newspaper for all to read. WhenJames Polk took the oath in 1845, SamuelMorse, inventor of the electronictelegraph, sat near him on the platform –tapping out the news on his machine.The shortest inaugural address was PresidentWashington’s second on March 4, 1793,which contained only 135 words. Thelongest was given by President William HenryHarrison on March 4, 1841 – and contained 8,495 words.Photo taken by Jake McGuire.THE DATEThe first president inaugurated on January 20 wasFranklin Delano Roosevelt in 1937. The 20thamendment to the Constitution, ratified in January1933, changed the inaugural date. Previously, theofficial inaugural date was April 30, a date set at thefirst inauguration because of a particularly harsh winterthat made travel difficult and precluded the gatheringof delegates until then.29

INAUGURAL FIRSTSThere have been many firsts in the history of presidentialinaugurals. New York City was the nation’s first capitaland the place where George Washington was sworn in asour nation’s first president. Thomas Jefferson was thefirst to be sworn in as president in Washington, D.C., in1801; in fact, this year marks the 200th anniversary ofthat historic occasion.It was in 1857, when James Buchanan became president,that the inauguration was first photographed. In 1949,the inauguration of President Harry S Truman and VicePresident Alben W. Barkley was the first to be televised.And in 1957, Dwight D. Eisenhower became the firstpresident inaugurated after the passage of the 22ndamendment, which limited to two the number of termsa president can serve:Amendment 20: Section 1.The terms of the President and Vice President shall end atnoon on the twentieth day of January, and the terms ofSenators and Representatives at noon on the third day ofJanuary, of the years in which such terms would haveended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms oftheir successors shall then begin.There is no doubt that inaugurations are a specialoccasion in our American history. Not only do wereaffirm our oneness as a country, but we also revel andcelebrate our uniquely American spirit and solidarity.Whether one envisions the inaugural stand, draped inpatriotic bunting for McKinley’s 1901 inauguration,or recalls the sheer simplicity of a 35-word oath, it isdifficult not to celebrate the pride that comes withbeing an American citizen in these United States atthis glorious celebration of our political history.30

2001 PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURALPARADEHistory of the Inaugural ParadeThe inaugural parade is a tradition that dates back toour first president, George Washington. On his journeyfrom Mount Vernon to New York, each city welcomedhim with great revelry and decoration.The custom of a staging a parade to honor the newpresident dates to Thomas Jefferson’s second inauguralon March 4, 1805. After taking the oath of office at theCapitol, Jefferson mounted his horse and rode back tothe White House, “followed by a large assemblage ofmembers of the Legislature, citizens, and strangers ofdistinction.” Later presidents continued this custom andthe inaugural parade has been a standard event ever since.The National American History Museum – Smithsonian InstitutionFeaturing representatives from nearly every state, theparade symbolizes our country’s democratic ideals andunification under the new president. In addition, manypresidents have used their inaugural parade to set thetone for their administrations. For example, in 1829,Andrew Jackson rode down Pennsylvania Avenuewithout a military escort to show his commitment todemocracy. President James K. Polk’s inaugural paradein 1845 reflected the expansionist mood of the country,and in 1885, Grover Cleveland used his parade topromote national unity.43
