00:0-1 | Okay , So every four years , there's this day | |
00:03 | , you may have heard of it before . Maybe | |
00:04 | not . It's called inauguration day , hmm , inauguration | |
00:10 | day ? Well , the first question we have to | |
00:13 | answer is what is inauguration day ? Well , inauguration | |
00:17 | day is the day when the president of the United | |
00:20 | States begins his or her term in office . A | |
00:26 | presidential term lasts four years , meaning the President of | |
00:30 | the United States serves the people for four years at | |
00:34 | a time . And that is why inauguration day happens | |
00:38 | every four years , no matter what . Mhm . | |
00:42 | So what actually happens on inauguration day ? Well , | |
00:47 | there is a big ceremony that takes place in Washington | |
00:51 | , D.C. , the capital of the United States . | |
00:54 | It takes place on January 20 , unless if January | |
00:58 | 20 is a Sunday , then they moved the public | |
01:01 | celebration to the following day January 21 . This happened | |
01:06 | most recently in 2013 . President Barack Obama had his | |
01:12 | second inauguration on monday january 21st . But usually the | |
01:17 | inauguration is on january 20th . But where in Washington | |
01:22 | , D . C . Is the ceremony itself Throughout | |
01:25 | the history of the United States , The majority of | |
01:28 | inaugurations have taken place at the US . Capitol Building | |
01:32 | seen here . What an amazing building . And at | |
01:35 | the time we are making this video . The inauguration | |
01:38 | has happened at the US . Capitol Building every inauguration | |
01:43 | day since 1945 . Speaking of 1945 that was the | |
01:50 | year of the last inauguration of the 32nd President of | |
01:54 | the United States . President franklin D Roosevelt , interesting | |
01:58 | fact about him . Did you know president franklin ? | |
02:01 | D Roosevelt had more inaugurations than any other U . | |
02:05 | S . President . He had four inaugurations . The | |
02:09 | reason for that is because franklin D Roosevelt was the | |
02:12 | first and only president to ever serve more than two | |
02:16 | terms . He served as president for four terms . | |
02:20 | Which is why he had four inaugurations . His record | |
02:23 | will never be broken either because now no president is | |
02:28 | allowed to serve more than two terms . That's the | |
02:31 | limit now from the now , this is really cool | |
02:37 | . The greatest part of the ceremony is when the | |
02:41 | president takes what is called the oath of office . | |
02:45 | The oath of office is a serious promise the president | |
02:49 | makes in front of the whole country . This often | |
02:53 | happens around noon on inauguration day , the president makes | |
02:59 | this promise . I do solemnly swear that I will | |
03:03 | faithfully execute the office of the President of the United | |
03:07 | States and will to the best of my ability preserve | |
03:12 | , protect and defend the constitution of the United States | |
03:19 | . After making these promises , the president usually makes | |
03:23 | a speech called the inaugural address . This is a | |
03:27 | chance for the president to share what he or she | |
03:30 | plans to do during his or her presidential term and | |
03:35 | let the people of our country know what the president's | |
03:38 | vision is for the United States . The vice president | |
03:44 | has an oath to take as well . Making promises | |
03:47 | in front of the whole country . That's what makes | |
03:51 | inauguration day so special . It is a day of | |
03:55 | promises . The promise means I will be committed . | |
04:00 | I will be here for the people of the United | |
04:03 | States and follow the constitution , which is the highest | |
04:06 | law in the land . Inauguration day is an important | |
04:11 | day . A day of promises . On january 20th | |
04:14 | . Unless it is a sunday . The President of | |
04:17 | the United States and the Vice president of the United | |
04:20 | States are sworn in , usually at the U . | |
04:23 | S . Capitol building , making a commitment to this | |
04:26 | country and the people who live in it . It | |
04:29 | happens every four years and marks the beginning of a | |
04:33 | president's term in office . No one can take the | |
04:36 | office of the President of the United States without making | |
04:40 | the promises of inauguration day . I know inauguration day | |
04:45 | has a weird name . Let's be honest about that | |
04:47 | . Okay , inauguration that's a strange word . But | |
