George W. Bush will begin his second term as President on January 20, Inauguration Day. This start date for a President's new term was set in 1933. If the date falls on a Sunday, the outdoor public event is moved to the next day. It was so cold when President Ronald Reagan was sworn in publicly in 1985 that the event was moved indoors. Here are the coldest Inauguration days in history.
1. Ronald Reagan: January 21,1985 - 7°F
2. Ulysses S. Grant: March 4, 1873 - 16°F
3. John F. Kennedy: January 20, 1961 - 22°F
4. Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren: March 4, 1833 and 1837 - 29°F (Tie)
5. William Howard Taft: March 4, 1909 - 32°F
