An elegant photo of FDR in top hat and fur-collared coat, accompanied by his top two Congressional lieutenant's, House Speaker Rayburn and Majority Leader Barkley, on the day of his Inauguration as President for an unprecedented third term. The winter sky was bright and sunny that cold January morning, in pleasant contrast to the dismal rain that marred FDR's second Inaugural in 1937. On the day of his fourth, and final swearing-in in January 1945, Roosevelt chose a simple, even somber wartime ceremony. He took the oath of office on the White House balcony, without pomp or parade.
