Good morning 99percenters!

Fun fact of the day: The U.S. Constitution took effect on March 4, 1789. As originally adopted it made no mention of a date to inaugurate the president. March 4 was codified as Inauguration Day in 1792, and was written into the Constitution with adoption of the 12th Amendment in 1804. But the March inauguration meant an extended lame-duck session for Congress, and in 1933, the 20th Amendment established that the terms of the president and vice president end at noon on January 20. Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first to be sworn into office on that day in 1937 beginning his second term.
