when was coolidge inaugurated
With the Presidential Inauguration now over in America, I thought I would go back into my collection and see if I had any old film from an earlier inauguration. I found one! On March 4, 1925, Calvin Coolidge was inaugurated the 30th President of the United States. He was sworn in by Chief Justice William H. Taft on the East Portico of the U.S. Capitol. Coolidge was already President after the death of President Harding in 1923 and this was to become his only elected term. From this old silent newsreel, you'll see Coolidge along with his wife and Senator Curtis leaving by automobile.
