∙ 7y agoAccording to Article II, Section 1, Clause 8 of the US Constitution, before the President of the United States "enters the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:- 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."
Many Presidents have added "... so help me God." but that is not a required part of the Oath.
Also - typically, the words "I, [insert name of President]" are used to start the Oath instead of just "I", i.e. the name of the person being sworn in gets inserted between "I" and "do" - but again, this is not a required part of the 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.
