I know of two possible answers. The first is Calvin Coolidge. He was Vice-President under Warren G. Harding. When Harding died from a stroke, Coolidge was visiting his father's farm in Vermont. Upon hearing the news, Coolidge's father, a justice of the peace, had his son go out to the barn to be sworn in as President. As his father was not a federal officer, some questioned the legitimacy of the swearing-in, so to allay concerns, Coolidge re-took the oath upon his return to Washington.
In 1985, Ronald Reagan was sworn in twice for his second term. Since 20 January was a Sunday, the first was a private ceremony held at the White House, with the idea of having a public ceremony at the Capitol the following day. However, 21 January was a bitterly cold day, so the public ceremony was ALSO held at the White House, and a celebration was held indoors in nearby Landover, Maryland.

Bush Jr. They had to make doubly sure of it because... He didn't actually win the presidential election. Well... not the traditional way anyway. You know the one, getting the most votes??

Bush Jr. He just didn't understand it the first time, so they had to read it to him again.
