464: Iron Key
Obama Second Inauguration, Sunday Ceremony and 20th Amendment
President Barack Obama is scheduled for two swearing-in ceremonies in January 2013 because the constitutional date of January 20th falls on a Sunday. While official reasons cite the Sunday holiday and the NFC Championship game, the hosts revisit a theory regarding "two Obamas" requiring separate legal oaths. The 20th Amendment dictates that presidential terms must end at noon on January 20th, necessitating a private ceremony before the public event on Monday.
