The simple explanation: The US Constitution does not permit that the nation be without a chief executive. Therefore it is a practical matter, considering that the Vice president can act as the chief executive when the President is incapasitated. For the few moments that the former President is stepping down, and the new President is being sworn in, there would actually be no President, so to avoid the problem, the Vice President is traditionally sworn in first.
