Why Does Inauguration Day Fall on January 20?

Initially, the gap between Election Day and Inauguration Day was even longer.

In many countries a newly elected leader takes power within a couple weeks or—as in the case of Great Britain—even the day following an election. In the United States, though, more than 11 weeks can pass between Election and Inauguration Days in order to give an incoming president time to choose a cabinet and plan for a new administration. The result is a lengthy lame-duck period, but it used to be even longer.

 

The Congress of the Confederation set March 4, 1789, as the date “for commencing proceedings” of the new government established by the U.S. Constitution. While a particularly bad winter delayed the inauguration of George Washington by eight weeks, subsequent incoming presidents and vice presidents took their oaths of office on March 4.

 

The four-month gap was needed in part because of the time it took to count and report votes and to travel to the nation’s capital. However, the lengthy lame-duck period caused problems such as in the aftermath of the 1860 election when seven states left the Union during the long “Secession Winter.” President-elect Abraham Lincoln had no power to act, and outgoing President James Buchanan took no action, leaving the issue for his successor.

 

As technological advances greatly reduced the times to tabulate votes, report the results and travel, such a long lame-duck period was no longer logistically necessary. As a result, the 20th Amendment, which was ratified on January 23, 1933, moved up Inauguration Day to January 20 and the first meeting of the new Congress to January 3.

 

The 20th Amendment didn’t take effect until October 1933, after the long lame-duck period once again proved problematic. With the U.S. in the throes of the Great Depression, incoming President Franklin D. Roosevelt had to wait four months to implement his New Deal while uncertainty further roiled financial markets. January 20 first served as Inauguration Day in 1937 when Roosevelt was sworn in for a second term. (On years when January 20 is a Sunday, a private swearing-in ceremony occurs with the public oath of office taken on January 21.)

Section 1 of the 20th Amendment to the United States Constitution reads as follows:

 

The terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.

 

This is completely unambiguous language. The change of power must occur at noon on January 20th of the appropriate year.

 

There is absolutely nothing that can be done to prevent or delay this except for another constitutional amendment to be passed to modify the 20th amendment.

 

Of course, if there were extremely serious concerns about the person to be sworn in, the Congress could prepare Articles of Impeachment and have them ratified by 12:01 on January 20th, effectively blocking that person from assuming the office of the Presidency.

President Donald Trump shared a tweet on Sunday questioning whether the constitutionally mandated inauguration date of January 20 can be delayed.

 

The Constitution explicitly states in the 20th Amendment, which was ratified in 1933, that "the terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January." It adds that "the terms of their successors shall then begin." But Trump's trade advisor Peter Navarro argued in an interview with Fox News on Saturday evening that this date could be disregarded.

 

"Well it can be changed actually. We can go past that date. We can go past that date if we need to," Navarro told Fox News host Jeanine Pirro after she pointed out that January 20 was enshrined in the Constitution. Many on social media were quick to call out Navarro and criticize his remarks, but others were intrigued by his comments.

 

Trump retweeted a post by an unverified user going by Ron with the handle @CodeMonkeyZ. Ron, whose bio describes him as a free speech absolutist, wrote: "More interesting is that he suggests the inauguration date of January 20 can be extended." His remark came in response to another post saying: "Peter Navarro says Pence can reschedule the inauguration?"

Newsweek reached out to the White House and Navarro for comment but they did not immediately respond.

 

Trump and his loyalist supporters baselessly claim that President-elect Joe Biden won the election through widespread voter fraud. They have not produced evidence to support this extraordinary claim, and more than 50 legal challenges filed by Trump and his loyalists in state and federal courts have failed. Multiple judges appointed by the president and other Republicans have rejected the false allegations.
