A US president was/is inaugurated (or reinaugurated) on Jan 20th every four years from 1937 on; do we really need to say it each time? It's not like a coronation, which generally happens more or less at the convenience of the honoree's predecessor. Maybe some of the big ones -- FDR's 3d and 4th, George W. Bush perhaps (given the controversy). But Ike? LBJ? --Charles A. L. 18:31, Dec 16, 2003 (UTC)
