Inauguration Day: (Jan. 20, 2005) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Every four years on Jan. 20, the oath of office is administered to the president-elect and vice president-elect of the United States, at the U.S. Capitol — by 12 noon. This year’s inaugural theme, “A Vision of America,” commemorates the anniversaries of two significant events in American history that helped shape our nation: the centennial of Theodore Roosevelt’s formal inauguration as president in 1905 and the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition reaching the Pacific in 1805. The U.S. Census Bureau has culled from previously released data the following inaugural-related facts: 5 4 295.3 million 2,553 3,982 Below are some presidential inauguration milestones, courtesy of the 2005 Calendar of American Politics: |
