Obama to match Roosevelt's record of taking presidential oath four times

Washington, Dec. 13 (ANI) Bookmark and Share

President Barack Obama will match former President Franklin Roosevelt's record of being sworn in as America's leader four times.

The first pair of swearing-ins was the result of an accident, the second pair was the result of a quirk of history.

According to Politico, he's planning a private oath at the White House on January 20, when the Constitution requires that his second term begin.

But since presidential inaugurations are not traditionally on Sundays, his public swearing-in is scheduled January 21, the report said.

In 2009, Obama had a do-over of his oath the day after Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts accidentally mixed up the words in the public ceremony, it added.
