Trivia: Where was Theodore Roosevelt first sworn into office?
Boston, Massachusetts
Philadelphia, Pensylvannia
Buffalo, New York
Austin, Texas
The correct answer is Buffalo, New York
So why is this answer correct? : Theodore Roosevelt became President of the United States at an unusual location — specifically, at his friend Ainsley Wilcox’s house at 641 Delaware Avenue in Buffalo, New York. The swearing-in happened quickly after the assassination of President William McKinley — so quickly, in fact, that there was not a Bible present for Roosevelt to swear on.
