171 Little history: Until the ratification of the 20th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States in 1933, each congress began on March 4 of the year following the year in which elections were held. This was also the date for the beginning of a presidential term.

That would make sense. When you go through the presidents on Wikipedia, the start/end dates of their presidencies all line up with March 4th until you get to Harry Truman. I was stumped as to why it started with him so thanks for the info.
