Inauguration Moments: George W. Bush protestors
George W. Bush, 2001

After a controversial election, the public eagerly awaited the events of the inauguration. During Bush's inaugural oath, he was interrupted by two protestors who managed to get around the security checkpoints. When they stripped naked 20 yards away from Bush, the words "No Mandate" and "Hail to the Thief" could be seen written across their bodies.
