It means that he has taken the "Oath of Office", binding him to the duties and standards of the presidency.
The oath includes the phrase, "I do solemnly swear" -- "sworn is the past-tense of swear" so after he takes the oath, he has sworn to do his duty and so has been sworn in to office.

∙ 14y agoThe Presidential Oath of Office, as per Article II, Section I of the Constitution is:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Saying The Presidential Oath of Offiice actually swears in the President-Elect to the Presidency. BEFORE he is sworn in, he is NOT YET the president. So, either the question is faulty, or the answer is something like, "Gee, the Oval Office is really oval!" or, "I need a nap." or, "What have I gotten myself into?!"

Does president elect become president right at noon on on 20th even without oath?
The outgoing President's term ends at noon, and the President-Elect automatically becomes President at the same time regardless of whether or not he's taken the oath of office. HOWEVER, he cannot act as President, or in effect "execute the office of President of the United States" until he's taken the oath. For example, the Vice-President normally takes his oath before the President. Assuming the VP's been sworn in a few moments before noon, he would constitutionally be "Acting President" until the President takes his oath.
