In response to message posted by Mugwump53:

I have always wondered about that, too. I do know that in the rare instances in which Inauguration Day fell on a Sunday, the ceremonies were put off until Monday. I know that Grant invited Hayes to a private ceremony in the White House to be sworn in the night before Hayes' inaugural ceremonies. In 1849, with the law of succession being what it was at the time, Senate President pro tempore David R. Atchison was, technically, president for one day. It's an eery coincidence that we should be talking about this, in light of this morning's use of the 25th Amendment, where the President transferred his office to the VP during his medical procedure.
