8-Do You Know-USA Presidents-2 President's Election President's Voting
Why the President's Inauguration Ceremony is Held on 20th January in the USA?
In short, the Constitution did it. Inaugurations used to be held in March to give electors four months to cast their ballots. But the "Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution" changed the date to January 20, and Franklin D. Roosevelt's second swearing-in ceremony in 1937 was the first one held on the new date.
Even if you're cold and not-so-comfortable, it's always a special moment watching a new
leader say these famous words: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute
the office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability,
preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." For the 45th President Barack Obama, in 2013, January 20 fell on a Sunday, so his Inauguration Ceremony was held on this day in White House only, but it was held again on January 21, on a Monday, in Public.
