SCREENWRITING nuggets - 30 ROCK & Dreams, Part 1
This series from the clip is referenced once in THE DEAD PRESIDENTS, and only visually...THAT's just part of why THE DEAD PRESIDENTS is being kickstarted. I'm a screenwriter, coming up with things so others can bring them to life with their creative talents is part of the fun.

So I'd like to find a talented comic book artist.

The Private Inauguration Part 2 - The Obamas
The private swearing-in of the new administration continued hours after Vice President was sworn in by Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor at the Vice President's Residence. When compared to the last Sunday private swearing-in, President Ronald Reagan had his with a small audience in the foyer of the White House right after Vice President George Bush. President Barack Obama's was simpler than that. The president and the first family walked in to the Blue Room with the Chief Justice and the only audience seemed to be the film crew. Chief Justice John Roberts read the oath from a piece of paper, swearing-in Obama a third time since January 20, 2009. He and the president stumbled through the oath the first time around and non-believers in the president believed since he said it wrong he wasn't really the president so later that day the two redid the oath. A note on that presidents, chief justices and their vice presidential counter-parts have messed up the oath of office plenty of times. Even the man who took the oath as a president-elect and later administered the oath as chief justice, William Howard Taft substituted a word in the oath when swearing-in Herbert Hoover. Taft's response, "Before radio ... we messed it up even more than that."
The Private Inauguration Part 1 - The Bidens
The private swearing-in of the president and vice president happened a little differently than in the past. When President Ronald Reagan and Vice President George Bush were sworn in on a Sunday, their little ceremony was held in the White House foyer. Invited guests sat in chairs facing the staircase and watched as the vice president went first and then the president.
This year the vice president took the oath of office almost four hours before the president. Vice President Joe Biden was sworn in my Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor (who apparently went from the ceremony up to New York, but will be back in Washington by noon tomorrow for the public swearing-in) in a ceremony that looked more like the Reagan/Biden private swearing in but at the Naval Observatory, aka the Vice President's Residence.

Pointless Presidential Pfacts #26 - "The New 57"
When Barack Obama is inaugurated for a second term as President of the Untied States, it will be the 57th Inauguration ceremony since the U.S. Constitution began operating in 1789. So every four years, previously on a March 4th, now on a January 20th, the nation gathers to inaugurate a new presidential administration with the pomp and ceremony of royalty like that of old Europe. But it's an example of what makes the United States so unique and an example of the lasting power of the U.S. Constitution. Every four years, the power of the office goes from one individual to the next connecting the present, 2013, to the past, 1789 and the Revolutionary War two decades prior. No matter if it is your first swearing-in or your fourth, the oath of office is administered and a new term begins.
