Inauguration Sundays and 28-Year Cycles in U S History
Inauguration Day on March 4 has fallen on Sunday four times since 1788: 1821 under James Monroe, 1849 under Zachary Taylor, 1877 under Rutherford B. Hayes, and 1917 under Woodrow Wilson. The next Sunday occurrence would be 1945, explained by leap year quirks including the non leap year 1900, which shifted the cycle and caused Roosevelt’s 1905 start to land on Saturday.
