How many Inaugurations have there been?
43 This answer is clearly wrong because Barack Obama's inauguration will be the 56th inauguration. We know that Presidents elected to a second term are inaugurated again. The question is how do you get to 56? Here is what I think is the math: 43 Presidents add 15 elected to a second term ( do not count Cleveland as he is in the above count and was the 22nd and 24th President) add another 2 2 because Roosevelt was elected to a third and fourth term subtract 5 Vice Presidents who became President but were never elected to the office of President 55 Total and Barack's inauguration will make 56. As of January 19, 2009, there have been 43 US Presidential inaugurations. When President Elect Barack Obama is sworn into office, on January 20, 2009, this will then have been the 44th US Presidential inauguration.

Where is your vote count more in the presidential governor or mayor?
Your vote "counts" more in a mayoral election because cities have fewer residents than the states in which they reside, and turnout for such elections is low compared to gubernatorial and presidential elections; because of the way the Electoral College works, however, if your state is expected to be close in support for one presidential candidate or the other, while your governor or mayor is popular enough to easily be re-elected, your vote may count more in a marginal sense.
