RANDOM TIDBITS

John F. Kennedy was the last president to attend his inauguration ceremony in a stovepipe hat.

John Quincy Adams was the first president to wear long trousers to his inauguration ceremony (breaking a tradition of colonial breeches).

During his Inaugural Parade, President Eisenhower was lassoed by a cowboy.

The Constitution does not require the president to swear on a bible, but it's been tradition from the beginning, thanks to George Washington.

Washington also holds the record for shortest speech at just 135 words. In 1841, William Henry Harrison gave the longest speech. It lasted almost two hours in freezing temperatures. As a result, Harrison would last about another month before dying of pneumonia.

In 1921, Warren Harding became the first president to use an automobile to get to and from the ceremony.
