The end of article two section one is important to inauguration day because it contains the oath that the president must take to become president. The Chief Justice of the US is most likely the person who the president states the oath to.
The Vice President would then take his place, until the number of votes needed to officially elect a new President is decided and reached.

The President Elect of the United States is Barack Hussein Obama. He will become President and take office when he takes the oath of office in February.
President "elect" or Senator "elect" I believe is the proper title for an elected individual who has yet to take th oath of office.
First he has to be legally elected as President or else become president by succession. Second he must be "sworn in" by taking the oath of office before a person who is legally qualified to administer oaths.
The U.S. Constitution says that the president must take the presidential oath and be sworn in; usually, it is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who administers the oath. If a president is re-elected, he still has to take the oath of office a second time.
