There is no constitutional requirement as to what time or by what time the president must take the oath of office. In fact, until the Twentieth Amendment was ratified in 1933, there was no constitutional requirement concerning what date the oath must be administered. The only requirement had only been that the president could not "enter on the Execution" of the presidency until after he had made an oath or affirmation.
