Inauguration day is the ceremonial change of power in the United States government or of the beginning of a sitting President's new term. It is a regularly scheduled, peaceful transfer and is quite unique as compared to most other forms of government. Other countries have very ornate and pompous celebrations when leadership changes, but they are not always the result of popular vote, are not always done on a predetermined schedule, and are not always reached peacefully. It is a very significant day in our nation and in the world as it also represents inaugurating the elected leader of what is considered the "free world".

And never feel stupid about asking a question! : )
