Obama's Inaguration & Oath


Did you relaize that President Obama has taken the Oath of Office four times? How did this happen, he has only been elected two times. Who was the last president that took the Oath of Office four times and what years did this occur?

Obama took the oath of office for a fourth time because the constitution says that the president has to take the oath of office on January 20th, which is when the outdoor oath is typically taken place. Because it was Sunday, they pushed the outdoor festivities until tomorrow. He would only have taken the oath 3 times, but in 2009, he messed up the outdoor oath, so he had to retake it a second time. The last president to take the oath of office 4 times was FDR. He took the oath in 1933, 1937, 1941, and 1945.
