Why is it the 60th inauguration but the 47th president?
Donald J. Trump, a populist contender for president, returns to his position as US CEO.
Donald J. Trump, the 47th president of the United States, will take office again on January 20, 2025, after serving two non-consecutive terms.
The inauguration order and president number are out of line for a straightforward reason: Donald Trump is not the first president to hold the position twice, having held the office from 2016 until 2020.
With 312 electoral votes—more than the 270 needed to win—the MAGA-winning candidate won the 2024 presidential election.
With a landslide victory, Donald Trump defeated his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris, who only garnered 226 electoral votes.
The U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., will host the inauguration on January 20, 2025.

Which presidents had multiple inaugurations?
Throughout the history of the United States, some presidents have held office more than once.
George Washington, the first president, was sworn into office twice in a row after his initial inauguration on the balcony of Federal Hall in New York on April 30, 1789.
When we take a closer look at the history of this, we find that 14 presidents have held office for more than one term, both consecutively and non-consecutively.
Franklin D. Roosevelt served four consecutive terms as president from March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945, until his death during his final term, if you felt that two was more than enough.
Two years after Roosevelt’s passing in April 1945, everything changed.
The revision of the Twenty-second Amendment
After Harry S. Truman’s succeeding ascent, a limit was imposed.
A resolution to limit the number of times a person can serve as president was put forth by the House of Representatives, the lower house of the US Congress.
This was included in the United States Constitution’s Twenty-second Amendment, which states: “No one shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”
Presidents can only hold office for a total of eight years, or two complete terms.
With the exception of Donald Trump, all presidents since the revision have served consecutive terms, but a few more have done so.
Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953–1961), Ronald Reagan (1981–1989), Bill Clinton (1993–2001), George W. Bush (2001–2009), and Barack Obama (2009–2017) are all in the chronological list.
Save the date: Trump 2025
On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump is expected to take office as the 47th president of the United States.
The 78-year-old businessman will take the oath of office in front of a sea of protesters and supporters.
Our future president hasn’t always had an easy time in the public eye, though.
Trump is a target for many political opponents due to his contentious reputation.
