Inauguration Day 2013

While looking for something else (don't ask), I found the following from the U. S. Gov't's Office of Personnel Management aka the OPM:

NOTE: Inauguration Day, January 20, 2013, falls on a Sunday. Therefore, the next succeeding day selected for the public observance of the inauguration of the President is a legal public holiday for an employee who works in the District of Columbia, Montgomery or Prince George's Counties in Maryland, Arlington or Fairfax Counties in Virginia, or the cities of Alexandria or Fairfax in Virginia, and who is regularly scheduled to perform nonovertime work on Inauguration Day. (See 5 U.S.C. 6103(c).) There is no in-lieu-of holiday for employees who are not regularly scheduled to work on Inauguration Day. In addition, employees for whom January 21, 2013, is the legal public holiday for the Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., are not entitled to an in-lieu-of holiday for Inauguration Day if the day selected for the public observance of the inauguration of the President is January 21, 2013.

So should President Obama decide to run for re-election in 2012 and is re-elected [which he would be of course] he will take the oath of office for the second time on the same day as the Federal Holiday in honor of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday.
