After the Oath:: Presidential Inaugural Addresses

By James Stephen Leh

From the shortest of a mere 135 words, to the longest 8,445 words, from "ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country" to the forgotten, this is a compilation of those memorable speeches that began each and every Presidency. In order to understand the history behind the Presidency and the individuals that held the office, we must look at the beginnings. Forty four men from every walk of life have taken on the responsibility and the burdens of becoming the President of the United States. These Inaugural Addresses are the first words that they spoke after placing their left hand on the Bible and raising their right to God and swearing the ever famous Oath of Office.
