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.
