The majority of the 43 men who became president were sworn in by the chief justice, but at least seven presidents were not. According to Wikipedia, "from 1789 through 2013, the swearing-in has been administered by 15 Chief Justices, one Associate Justice, three federal judges, two New York state judges, and one notary public." In fact, it is customary rather than mandatory for the chief justice to give the oath-- among the presidents not sworn in by the chief justice were George Washington, Calvin Coolidge, and Lyndon Johnson. (Johnson was the only president sworn in by a woman-- Sarah T. Hughes, a district court judge.)
