January
20
International
Observation Day
Martyrs' Day (Azerbaijan)
United States presidential inauguration, held
every four years since 1937 (with 2 exceptions
by Eisenhower & Reagan, on January 21st
because January 20 was a Sunday [1957 and
1985]) in odd-numbered years after years when
the United States Presidential Election takes
place (as the election takes place in years
divisible by four – 2004, 2008, 2012, and
so on – the inauguration takes place in 2005,
2009, 2013, etc.). The incoming/reelected
President traditionally swears-in as close
to Noon as possible.
