Vice President	John Adams
Inauguration Date	Thursday, April 30, 1789
Location	Balcony of Federal Hall, New York City
Oath Administered By:	Robert Livingston, Chancellor of State of New York
Bible Used:	The Holy Bible from St. John's Masonic Lodge, No.1, opened at random due to haste to Genisis 49:13
Length of Inaugural Address:	1,419 words
Attire (what the president wore):	Dark brown suit (made in America), with steel-hilted sword, white silk stockings, and silver shoe buckles
Weather:	Clear and cool
Precedents, "firsts" or other interesting information:	The Constitution only prescribes the oath that a President must take; it does not set forth the style or manner of the Inauguration. The nation's first inauguration established many precedents: Washington added the words, "So help me God" at the end of his oath; he kissed the Bible; and and he delivered an Inaugural address, all of which have been followed by future Presidents.
