PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATIONS There have been 72 inaugurations, some private, but mostly public, and not all on the Capitol steps. For the most part the transfer of power from one President to another has been amicable, or at least an attempt at cordiality. Historically, there have been three outgoing Presidents who have refused to attend the inauguration and boycotted it, and it looks like we will see a fourth next week. The first refusal was by President John Adams who was distraught over his loss of the election as well as the death of his son Charles Adams to alcoholism. He left the President’s House in the early morning. The next Adams President, son of John Adams, also refused to go to the inauguration of his successor as well as Martin Van Buren for reasons unknown. Obviously, Nixon did not go to Ford’s for a different reason and not as a boycott.
