This table provides links to the texts of all presidential inaugural addresses. The first column reports the year of each president's inauguration. The second column indicates the last name of each president linked to contextual information about his assumption of the office. The third column presents the first phrase of the inaugural speech linked to the full text. The list includes presidents who gave no inaugural address at the start of a term because they assumed the office on the assassination, death, or resignation of their predecessor. For each inaugural address given the last three columns report the length in words of each address, the number of religious references in each address, and the number of civil religious references in each address.
