Can a notary public swear in a president?
Theoretically, yes. Notaries have the authority to administer oaths within their state of commission. Since the president is always sworn in at the White House, only a Notary Public of the District of Colombia could swear him in. The presidential oath has only been administered once by a notary, for Chester Arthur, by his father who was a notary public. However, there was some debate as to whether or not a state notary had the authority to swear in a federal official, and so the oath was readministered by the chief justice upon Chester Arthur's return to Washington. So the issue has never been really established, but in theory, since a notary has authority to administer oaths within his or her state for any purpose, the president could be sworn in by a notary.

No! They must actually physically observe the signature being affixed to the document and see identification that the signer is who they say they are. Original ID MUST be presented, no copies. Acceptable ID varies from state to state. If the signer is swearing form should state something like sworn to and subscribed before me--must be signed before notary. If it says acknowledged before me, it can be signed without notary present but signer must say that it was their signature given of free will. In all cases signer MUST appear before notary.
What does ss mean in a legal document?
The precise etymology of ss. is unknown. The following are comments from contributors:It's an abbreviation for the latin word "scilicet," which means "in particular" or "namely" or "that is to say". (The correct name is phonetically pronounced silla-set.)The letters are specifically ­used in the statement of venue which follows the caption of a legal document and especially between the name of the state and the particular subdivision (as county). It is used in acknowledgments to indicate the County where the document was notarized and is traditionally included to the right of the venue in a notarial certificate. (Hampden ss. means Hampden County.) It is used is court documents to indicate the County where the issuing court is located. It has been theorized that one early formbook writer included it into his forms and it has been perpetuated mindlessly ever sinceI was taught in law school that "ss." is the preamble to an affidavit, signifiying to the reader that it is a Sworn Statement made under penalties of perjury before a notary or an officer of the court of that state (many times these sworn statements, as well as unsworn statements, go on for many pages and this eliminates the need to flip to the back to see it is in fact a sworn statement. It follows the state and county so that the reader knows where it was sworn.
