The Presidential Inauguration marks the official commencement of a new term of a U.S. President. It's a day packed with tradition and ceremony, including the oath of office, inaugural address, parade, and ball. The inaugural oath, as stipulated in the U.S. Constitution, is the centerpiece of this important day. The inaugural address, another significant element, often outlines the President's vision for the nation. Notable speeches include John F. Kennedy's call to 'ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.' The inaugural parade and ball add a celebratory hue to this solemn occasion. Historically, there have been unique inaugurations. George Washington's was the first and set many precedents. Franklin D. Roosevelt, elected four times, holds the record for the most inaugurations. The date of the inauguration has also evolved. Originally, it was March 4, giving enough time for an orderly transition of power. However, the 20th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1933, moved the date to January 20, reducing the 'lame-duck' period. Through these traditions and evolutions, the Presidential Inauguration embodies America's democratic values, providing an orderly transition or continuation of leadership.
