Waiting on Roosevelt
Roosevelt not inaugurated until March 4, 1933
20th Amendment – moving presidential
inauguration to January – not in effect yet
Roosevelt used “brain trust” to plan as he waited;
waiting on Roosevelt – people panicked
So, first of all, let me assert my
firm belief that the only thing we
have to fear... is fear itself –
Roosevelt’s inaugural address
