Unless they are elected to a term of their own later.

(12 posts)7. 59th
Because the number of the President (IE 46th) changes only with a new person, the inauguration is every 4 years

Several presidents had two.

(14,708 posts)11. tre may have been some who skipped a formal "inauguration".....
If you are merely sworn in, is that an inauguration technically?
Also, when was the first one? Did washington have one?
Just musing. I don't know the answers.....
