Yes- the President must take the oath of office as required by the US Constitution.
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 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.
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.
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.
He or she must take the oath of office according to the prescribed format.
I, Barack Hussein Obama, 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, [so help me God]" U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section I
No, the President's Oath is written in the Constitution. The Vice President's Oath is the same oath that members of Congress take and was not written in the Constitution, but the Constitution does require that the VP be bound by an Oath.
The oath of office for president contains 34 words.
