Every four years, the United States elects a President. And
every four years, that President makes a speech, outlining his
goals and plans for the coming term. Presidential inaugurations are
Constitutionally mandated. Inaugural speeches, however, are just a
tradition, but an enduring tradition.
The tradition of inaugural speeches began with George Washington
speaking to a joint session of Congress in the Senate Chamber of
Federal Hall in New York City. It has continued all the way up to
Barack Obama's speeches on the West Front of the Capitol to crowds
that overflowed the National Mall.
Presidential historian Ian Randal Strock has compiled every one
of the 58 Presidential inaugural addresses into this volume. Also
included are descriptions of the elections that brought those
Presidents to office, as well as information on the various
inaugural ceremonies.
This edition is updated to include every inaugural speech
through Barack Obama's second inaugural in January 2013.
