Trump Inauguration Day 2025: Donald Trump is going to take the oath of office for the second time today. Due to bad weather, this ceremony will be held in a closed venue for the first time in 40 years. This is the first time since Ronald Reagan in 1985 that the venue of the swearing-in ceremony has had to be changed. Let us know some historical and interesting things related to this ceremony.
Due to the snow storm and severe cold in Washington DC, the swearing-in ceremony will not be held in the open this time but inside the US Capitol. The last time a similar change was made was during Ronald Reagan’s inauguration in 1985 due to bad weather.
Historic swearing in of William Henry Harrison
According to the report of Oxford Academic, in 1841, America’s ninth President William Henry Harrison took oath amidst bad weather. Harrison’s swearing-in ceremony took place amid icy winds, where he gave a two-hour long speech without a coat or hat. After this he developed pneumonia and died within 31 days of taking oath. He was the first President of America to die while in office.
Change in swearing in dates
Initially, the oath of office of the President in America was administered on March 4. But after the 22nd amendment in 1933, this date was changed to 20 January. The purpose of this change was to reduce the period between elections and swearing-in.
