 Online NewsHour: Inauguration 2001
During his second inauguration, Washington received his oath from William Cushing, an associate justice of the Supreme Court who was the first in a long line of members of the court to perform the ceremony.
The theme for this year's inaugural will be "Celebrating America's Spirit Together" and will incorporate some events of the past including an Inauguration Day church service, the swearing-in at the Capitol, the inaugural parade and eight inaugural balls.
The oath of office is the main focus of the inauguration ceremony and the only part required by law.

 Exhibit: President George Washington's Inaugural Address
Like other Presidential addresses to the Congress, President Washington's inaugural address is preserved at the National Archives in the Center for Legislative Archives, which has physical custody of the official records of the U.S. Congress dating from 1789; Congress maintains legal custody of these records, and they are exhibited with the permission of the Senate.
George Washington's first inauguration took place at Federal Hall in New York City, where the first Congress was assembled.
George Washington, hero of the American Revolution and of the Constitutional Convention, was elected in 1789 to serve as this nation's first President.

 NARA Digital Classroom Teaching With Documents: FDR's First Inaugural Address Declaring 'War' on the Great Depression
In his 1933 inaugural address Roosevelt stated: "Our Constitution is so simple and practical that it is possible always to meet extraordinary needs by changes in emphasis and arrangement without loss of essential form.
Woven throughout his inaugural address was his plan.
Less memorable but more enduring is the justification that Roosevelt planned to use to expand the power of the federal government to achieve his legislative objectives and thereby ease the effects of the Great Depression.

 Weathering Inauguration Day
It rained the morning of his first inauguration in 1869, and four years later, he was sworn in on the coldest Inauguration Day on record until Ronald Reagan’s in 1985.
As Garfield delivered his inaugural address, a chill northwest wind whistled through the naked tree limbs and the temperature was just 33°F. In 1889, despite his grandfather’s fatal exposure 48 years earlier, Benjamin Harrison insisted on taking his oath of office, delivering his inaugural address, and reviewing the inaugural parade in the pouring rain.
Weatherwise, Roosevelt’s saturated second inauguration, the wettest in history, was wildly ironic, because the 20th Amendment had just changed the date of Inauguration Day from March 4 to January 20.

 Lincoln's First Inaugural Address (Top Treasure): American Treasures of the Library of Congress
In composing his first inaugural address, delivered March 4, 1861, Abraham Lincoln focused on shoring up his support in the North without further alienating the South, where he was almost universally hated or feared.
The finished address avoided any mention of the Republican Party platform, which condemned all efforts to reopen the African slave trade and denied the authority of Congress or a territorial legislature to legalized slavery in the territories.
For guidance and inspiration, he turned to four historic documents, all concerned directly or indirectly with states' rights: Daniel Webster's 1830 reply to Robert Y. Hayne; President Andrew Jackson's Nullification Proclamation of 1832; Henry Clay's compromise speech of 1850; and the U.S. Constitution.

 Message of Jefferson Davis
To inaugurate the Government in its full proportions and upon its own substantial basis of the popular will, it only remains that elections should be held for the designation of the officers to administer it.
Gentlemen of the Congress : It is my pleasing duty to announce to you that the Constitution framed for the establishment of a permanent Government for the Confederate States has been ratified by conventions in each of those States to which it was referred.
As soon, however, as the Northern States that prohibited African slavery within their limits had reached a number sufficient to give their representation a controlling voice in Congress, a persistent and organized system of hostile measures against the rights of the owners of slaves in the Southern States was inaugurated and gradually extended.

 American President
In his inaugural address, Jefferson pled for national unity in an attempt to heal the wounds of a vicious campaign and to gain support from the Federalist-controlled Congress.
After a bitterly contested election, a tie vote in the electoral college, and a protracted deadlock in the House of Representatives, Jefferson finally emerged as the winner -- thanks, in part, to the three-fifths clause of the Constitution, which gave states with large slave populations additional votes.
Due to a relatively placid first term, prosperity, lower taxes, and a reduction of the national debt, Jefferson won a landslide victory in 1804.

Roosevelt's rhetoric during his inaugural address implicitly promised to "drive the money changers from the temple." This was music to Coughlin's ears since a core part of his own message was monetary reform.
Roosevelt's early monetary policy seemed to fulfill this promise and so Coughlin viewed him as the savior of the nation.
