An elected president takes the oath of office at approximately noon on January 20 of the year following his election to president. Vice-presidents who assume the role presidency due to the death or resignation of the President take the oath of office as soon as possible after such death or resignation. The oath must be administered by a public official , such as a notary public or magistrate who is legally qualified to administer oaths.
