On this date in history, the last presidential inauguration to be held on the traditional March 4 was in 1933 for Franklin Roosevelt’s first swearing-in. The waiting period for extensive travel and preparation was no longer needed and the ceremony was moved from March 4^th to January 20^th.

March fourth and make it a great day!
