Kennedy]], January 20, 1961]]<br /> <br /> In [[government]] and [[politics]], '''inauguration''' is the process of [[Oath of office|swearing]] a person into [[Public administration|office]] and thus making that person the [[incumbent]]. Such an inauguration commonly occurs through a formal [[ceremony]] or special event, which may also include an inaugural [[Public speaking|address]] by the new [[official]].<br /> <br /> The word ''inauguration'' stems from the [[Latin]] ''[[augur]]'', which refers to the [[ritual]]s of ancient [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] [[Religion in ancient Rome#Public priesthoods and religious law|priests]] seeking to interpret if it was the will of the gods for a public official to be deemed worthy to assume office.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/inaugurate|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120706075021/http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/inaugurate|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 6, 2012|title=Oxford Dictionaries' Entry on ''Inauguration''|work=Oxford Dictionaries}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Public office==<br /> {{See also|Presidential inauguration}}<br /> <br /> The inaugurations of public figures, especially those of political leaders, often feature [[wikt:lavish|lavish]] ceremonies in which the figure publicly takes their [[oath of office]] (sometimes called &quot;swearing in&quot;), often in front of a large crowd of spectators. A [[monarchy|monarchical]] inauguration may take on different forms depending on the nation: they may undergo a [[coronation]] rite or may simply be required to take an oath in the presence of a country's legislature.<br /> <br /> The &quot;inaugural address&quot; is a speech given during this ceremony which informs the people of their intentions as a leader. A famous inauguration speech is [[Inauguration of John F. Kennedy#Inaugural address|John F.
