So today while being surrounded with tons and tons of inauguration coverage, I picked up a ton of useless information and trivia (my favorite kind of information) anyway one thing I didn't hear.. why do we always hold the inauguration on Jan. 20th?
Turns out it was a simple answer... the 12th amendment, passed in 1933 made January 20th the official inauguration day. Before then it was always held on March the 4th.
What was the 12th amendment... well it was just an amendment that made all the terms and dates of sessions of government officials clearly stated and regulated. Not that exciting I know, but now you know.
