(Monday, March 4, 1833, 12:00 p.m. local time) — President Andrew Jackson of Tennessee took the oath of office today for a second term as the 7th President of the United States in the House Chamber of the U.S. Capitol.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Martin Van Buren of New York was sworn in as the 8th Vice President of the United States. The office had been vacant since the resignation of Vice President John C. Calhoun on Dec. 28, 1832.

The Democratic ticket of Jackson-Van Buren had defeated the National Republican ticket of Henry Clay and John Sergeant in the 1832 election by 219-49 (Jackson vs. Clay) and 189-49 (Van Buren vs. Sergeant) votes in the Electoral College.

At 12:00, Chief Justice John Marshall swore in Jackson and Van Buren into their respective offices in the House of Representatives Chamber, unlike the previous presidential inauguration that was held in the East Portico of the United States Capitol, as a result of the snowy grounds and the weather that reached about 29 °F.

In addition to that, Andrew Jackson’s poor health status at the time of the inauguration essentially forced the swearing-in of the oath of office to be held inside the House of Chambers.

This was the first inauguration for which two inaugural balls were held.
